This post is a long time coming. This month I intended to make four paintings at least, of a theme I called “the country life”. While I have tried to use any spare moments to paint, I found myself doing a myriad of other things, meaning I’m way behind. The beginning of the month was taken up with [...] Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys… Drum roll please…. The old Jerusalem unveiled… 13feet x 36 ft latex/acrylic on muslin 54 hours of work, more or less, from start to finish, including the time when I first drew the scene on paper, based on what Pr. Randy gave me. This is what he first gave me.. It was alot of fun [...] I’m so close to being done, but the closer I get, the more it seems I still have to do. Often times, I find people have a hard time getting a sense of how much time it takes to do certain things, especially when it comes to art.

Friday I painted all day, with 5 volunteers, down to 2, down to 1, by the night time. I was at the church from 9:15am to 10:40pm with an hour respite. On [...] About 6 weeks ago, I was asked if I’ve done murals before, by a leader from our new church. Without hesitating, I said, yes. It’s true, I have done a couple. Little did I know what I was getting myself into. I had said yes to painting, and leading other volunteers, to paint the backdrop for [...] Phoenix had a whole morning playdate a couple days ago. That means, that I dropped Phoenix off at 10 am to Kevin’s mom. They played, she fed them lunch and took them to school and all I had to do was pick him up at 3:15, when school was over. So for the first time in [...] |
