Today I learned that the reason you shouldn’t paint in the rain is because every drop of rain that hits your paint will show! Good thing I plan on repainting the sky.  Michael insisted that I look into getting a lift to work on the sky, and perhaps the entire mural.  I told him I was having so much fun climbing the scaffolding that I hated to give it up. He offered to build me a jungle gym in the yard. . .  So my Exeter/cabin friends (see? Mineral King-Exeter connection!) Jay and Keith gathered the information for me and a lift is scheduled for the week after next. Thanks, you two! 😎 Meanwhile, the scaffolding is good for the upper mountains. They have enough detail that I only have to move It (from now on I will refer to the scaffolding as It) once during a day’s work. What got finished today looks miniscule compared to the entire project, but I think it is about 10′ x 3′, which is a mighty large painting for someone who is accustomed to painting 10″ x 8″! These are the somewhat improvised mountains – mostly accurate, but slightly stretched to fill the unexpected 9′ that was left over when we ran out of mural on Projection Night. Tomorrow rain is expected, but if I paint, It will be scooted back so you can see the day’s work without It covering Sawtooth.
