Does today’s work look any different from yesterday’s? Finished the porch washroom and added more detail and cleaner edges. Figured out how to use a square to make the angled “postcard” accurate in size and got a little closer to being finished on the Honeymoon Cabin. Painted all day and just recovered old territory. But, […]
Mural, Day Twelve
Doesn’t look like very much in terms of the entire wall, but some square footage was covered today. And look at the sunshine! The day began in thick cold fog, quite a shock from sunny Three Rivers!
Mural, Day Eleven
Today my plan was to paint on the scaffolding without moving it until it was time to photograph the day’s work. The plan worked! I just kept going down to a lower shelf until I ended the day on the ladder. Can’t wait until tomorrow because I get to start on the Honeymoon Cabin! This is what […]
Mural, Day Ten
On one of the rainy days, Inspector Gadget went to the mural and let me know that the old store and post office needed work. Today it received work, and here are the results. Because it was sprinkling and threatening rain all day, I worked from the ladder instead of the scaffolding. It is easier to […]
Mural, Day Nine
When I paint at home, it is usually in silence and solitude. Sometimes I listen to the radio or to music. Sometimes I talk on the phone, but only if it rings or there are calls that need to be made. Some days the only person I talk to is the UPS driver. Sometimes there […]
Mural, Day Eight
(Such creative titles lately) Today I painted mostly without incident (never mind the forehead smash against the scaffolding board tail when I leaned over to lock the wheels). There were lots of nice visitors – some folks from Scotland, Marge and Lou from Three Rivers, and my dental hygienist were some of the guests today. […]
Mural, Day Seven
Has it really only been seven days of painting??? Today was a very very very clear day, and the mountains were showing off (the real ones, not the ones in the mural). Check out my view from the top of the forklift. Sawtooth is the last one visible on the right.With the loan of this […]
Mural, Day Six
What an incredibly clear and beautiful day! Truly fantastic – February is my favorite month. Too bad it doesn’t have 31 days, and August only 28. It was not a day of tremendous progress. Betsy helped me figure out that I am slowing myself down by using the photographs to do the first layer of […]
Rained Out
Today I did not paint in Exeter because it was raining. I also did not paint in my studio because it was too dark to see! However, my friend and ‘puter guru Barbara took these wonderful photos on Sunday.This was Ashley’s other paint-by-number accomplishment. See the little guy with the banjo? It got a little […]
Mural, Day Five
This was quite a productive day as you can see by all the photos. (And I could see Sawtooth from It while I was painting Sawtooth!) First, after retrieving my wagon, mixing my paints and moving It, I have to climb It. My niece documented the ascent so that Neighbor Bob can see how it […]
