Today we did another redesign. This thing is evolving, changing daily, teaching me new lessons daily, challenging me, confounding me even! Brings to mind my Mom saying “Confound it!” This wasn’t a good thing, but now I am finding the definition to mean surprise or confuse, act against expectations, even can mean to defeat. And, the final usage is considered “dated” – to express anger or annoyance!    Here are today’s lessons:                                                                                                                                      1. Wear Teva sandals when you paint. This is so that you can go outside and hose off your feet when you drop the palette on them.                                                                                                                                             2. Those little sponge “brushes” have a life span of about 8 minutes.                                                               3. New brushes are FANTASTIC to use!                                                                                                                   4. When you wipe a wet paintbrush on your clothing, the paint soaks through to your skin.
