  40. Day 8
  41. we taped off where the window sashing went and I painted those while maddie added more shadow to flowers
  42. then madded added shadow to the curtain  while I added highlights to the plants
  43. Maddie also added hinges to the window while I did more shadowing to the plants and window shutters  
  44. We also added depth to the shingles since those things havce a thickness and ours did not yet
  45. This is where we left off going into the final
