I have a friend from Michigan who says on a regular basis, “You’re killing me!” She is very cute and feminine and is usually giggling when she says it, so I think it means “you are making me laugh more than this situation warrants.” So today I am painting and I keep hearing her voice, only it is me speaking to the mural and I am not laughing. I tallied up my hours and unless I can finish this in 7-1/2 hours next week, I will be over my estimated time. Hmmm, I think the lesson is that I can use my formula for bidding murals UNLESS THERE ARE NO PHOTOS! This mural is killing me. But, look! Progress is being made! The final 3 panels are up and being detailed across, from left to right and top to bottom and back to front. Yeah, I know the river is a scary scary blue, but I’ll get it figured out.
