April Hours Bring May flowers

After 40 hours... That is no exaggeration, and you know how I love to exaggerate... but this is real folks, So yes, after 40 hours of cutting out, painting and mounting eighteen 24"x24" flowers and an entire rocket-ship scene I am finally done! I have got that project in the bag... or rather, shall I say, on the fence!

It was really fun and it looks super cool... I think the only reason I took any notice of the time I spent on them is because I had three shows worth of paintings I had to get done and was not working on any of them. But I usually work well under pressure so I thought the heck with all of that, LETS DO THIS! The fun stuff!

It is all fun, I love my job, and I loved this one (of helping out my son's school) even a little bit more!

It was the perfect weather last weekend to get the last of it done, the actual painting--my favorite part.

As I sat there on a drop cloth in the sun, painting those giant wooden flowers in every color of the rainbow, I noticed I was living my exact childhood fantasy, of what being a mom was gonna be like.

I had always imagined painting for the school along with other vivid imaginings like building crazy cool forts with spiral stair cases and a real working telephone. Sewing super hero capes and buttons back on when they'd come off... And so on and so on... Too many dreamies to ramble on about at this particular time... As always, I have a sink full of dishes to do, yet, for some reason this part of the job never entered into the dreams of being a mother, not once?

Anyway it was really super special, the feelings, the perfect blissful absolute right feelings that came along with the painting of those little flowers... I sure do love this momming business... I sure do love that boy!
