This past
week has been a busy one for me – and involved a lot of painting. Only the
painting I was doing was not painting landscapes but painting walls, baseboards
and closets. So, I didn’t accomplish nearly as much as I had hoped on the Osprey
painting.
My daughter
is pregnant with twins – a boy and a girl – and, along with raising two other
young and active children, running a household, and working toward a college
degree in her “spare time”, she is quite busy getting everything ready for their
arrival – in December. Part of that preparation involved re-painting a room
which will become the twins’ upon their arrival. Since I have some expertise in
painting, I volunteered to help paint the room, and spent most of last week
finishing up trim and baseboard, painting along the ceiling, around windows and
inside a closet. To make matters worse, the previous color was so dark that it
took four coats of fresh paint to fully cover it.
Needless to
say, family matters and responsibilities trump all others. I was happy to help,
and do my part to make my daughter’s life a bit easier. She and her mother
spent much of the weekend gathering material to make truly unique curtains for
the room.
As a result, I wasn’t able to make much progress on
the Osprey. I had hoped to have the color sketches finished by today but failed
in that regard. I have made a dent in it and will be posting them as soon as
possible. At any event, they will be posted by mid week next week, on my usual
day
