Two days off, couldn’t remember where I finished. Good thing I had a list. Gave me peace of mind as I commuted down the hill.
I ignored the list and looked at the wall. Time to paint those all-important pillars. First, tape off the sky to protect it from pillar paint, which is about to take place.
Nah, let’s procrastinate while we allow our courage to build for such a monumentally important part of this challenging indoor mural.
I love detail – it is so satisfying to go from mediocre to good, and from good to great, and from great to “whoa! who did that?” (nope, not telling where I think this work falls into that hierarchy)
I painted about 15 minutes and then realized I couldn’t see any more and it was quitting time. Isn’t it interesting how when work is a struggle, a day can seem like 1000 years versus how 1000 years can feel like a mere day when the work is flowing?
Now that is peculiar. The work from the left side of the mural is reflecting on the right hand door so much that we cannot see what is through the glass.

Looking great!
Thank you, Grey! I’m beginning to think I can do this thing, although I still believe it would be best viewed from the back of a fast horse.
Amazing … you are simply awesome …
Nah, I just keep fixing and fixing and fixing. . . but thanks for the vote of awesomeness, Diane!
Jana, loved looking down through your posts and seeing how the mural has progressed. It’s looking great! I agree, detail makes all the difference. Kudos to you for undertaking such a big project. I understood all about that procrastinating thing as you gathered courage to attack it 🙂
Fyi, I came up with an angle to include another pic of my adorable grandbabies at the bottom of my blog post today. I will try to refrain from doing that too often 🙂
Cheryl, in my style of painting and drawing, detail is everything. It was almost the only thing when pencil was my only medium because there was no color to dazzle or distract!
Looking forward to seeing more of I and J – gotta see if I can tell them apart!
