He worked on it Friday Morning and I took it to the gallery along with the food, tablecloths, etc., for the reception. When I was taking the things out of the bags, the painting slipped, I jerked my hand and it flew to the floor. Crack!
Here is the result:
It actually looked pretty neat. The glass didn't fall out as it was taped to the painting. I brought it back home and Gene removed the glass. I took the painting back to the gallery and did some touch ups, although it really was not damaged at all.
Because I painted it outside, it looked very pale when brought indoors. I decided to darken the posts and the things that were closer to me when painting. It improved the painting, given more depth to the scene.

I like the changes so I guess it's a good thing you dropped it! :-)
Me, too, Joanna. My framing guy wasn't too happy, though. Guess he will do it over soon. :-)
Ouch, I have had that happen to me several times Jo, it's always (heart in my mouth ) time. I know how you must have felt.
Great touch ups though, so all is well, and how wonderful that Gene can reglass it for you, handy hubby.

Rae, lucky it was a small painting. I would have cried if it had been a big one with museum glass. Ha.
I like the freshening up you did on it too. I may have to drop some of mine :)
Hi, Jo, glad it was such a happy ending, and I, too, like the changes!
Ouch is right but it looks like it was a minor mishap overall.
The value issue is always a problem outdoors. I use an umbrella but sometimes it's not enough.
I like the changes.
Good Save, Jo!
It's a lovely painting.
Mary, you are so right about the value issue. I was in the shade, but it was still very high value. I like the changes, too.
Teresa, thank you. I do like painting outside. It forces you to paint faster and think harder or paint without thinking. Ha.
