My Room Re-do

I think I am almost done with the neverending paint job.  Just a bit of touch up on the trim and ceiling--- 30 minutes at most!  I have the new lamps in (sorry Megan but I'm keeping them) and next wash day I will put on the new bedding.  Still have a few ugly holdouts in the room, but the budget man says they stay for now.  Sunday is the grand opening for the Home Goods store on my end of town.  8am.  There is a $1000 shopping spree up for grabs.  I know.  I have no luck, but wait!  I won a $50 gas giftcard when I gave blood last time and I never win anything.  So maybe my luck has changed.  It is definitely worth a shot.

So the next thing is to paint the bathroom.  I want to paint the closet too but that will probably have to wait until after my trip to Seattle.  Once this is done I can get into the drawing and painting again.

Another Art Show!

Larry, my drawing and painting instructor, is arranging for another show in mid-October.  It will involve many of his students and be similar to the show we put together last summer at Tucson International Airport.  So the pastel of mixed prickly pear I had framed for the pastel show that never got shown will go in this one, along with my watercolor of a barrio door.  I can put in one more if I wish, but if it needs framing I'm not sure I can do it.  It would be great if something would sell this time but once again I won't hold my breath.  One thing I want to say:  I suck at naming my artwork.  For instance, my watercolor of pomegranites with a green pitcher is called, "Pomegranites with Green Pitcher."  So what do you call a pastel of prickly pear or a watercolor of a barrio door?  Good thing I didn't become a writer.  I could never get published if I couldn't come up with better titles than that.
