I’ve bee meaning to write this for at least a week. I’ve been a little busy making lots of Christmas gifts, so it’s been a little hard to find a moment, but I finally git a chance, so, I didn’t want to waste it. This year, was one of firsts. We had our first [...] Yup. The arts show is over. I’m still working on the mural. Now, I think I have had all the help from other volunteers I can, and I have to do the rest on my own. The buildings need to be one unit, and I need to do all the details myself. I won’t be able to get anyone to do it like [...] 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.

I should have photographed my process, but by the time I thought of it, it was too late. (approx. 5″x7″ watecolor on watercolor moleskine) Mixed with this painting, comes a lesson.
