painting woes

i had some friends inquire about the "boathouse on canandaigua lake" painting i did for my mother--they wanted one! so i bought some canvases and set to work. i wanted to give it to them before they made the trek home, but at 10:30 at night, once i was finished, i was far from happy with it, so i gessoed over it and started over. but i made a "sketch" that i was really happy with that will be there finished painting shortly!
