Kathy called me frantic saying she wasn't able to get a handle on this mural that Alwyn had kinda talked her into. Being that it was Thursday, it was Farmer Girl Day, I couldn't say no!
The Mural is out by an in the ground pool and we painted the garage wall that faces the pool in a beach scene complete with tiki hut and palm trees.
It was perfect work for the week as the temperatures were high and it was a great reason to bring the 9 year old with me to hang out and swim.
Kathy doesn't like to work around people, her creativity flows when she is alone or with one or two other people, but the first day we were there I think I counted 15 most of them being kids.
The second day was better only Kathy the 9 year old and myself.
We hit a few stubling blocks, but overcame them and the mural actually turned out quite good.
The bad news is that now the 9 year old is really sick with a temp of 102.5 this afternoon and 102.1 tonight. After doses and doses of tylenol, motrin and lots of ginger ale he spent the night puking his guts up.
I'm really hoping he's better tomorrow, and he doesn't get the swimmers ears started, I remember when I was a kid it would start like his is then I'd be a mess a few days and ready to get back in the pool again as soon as I could.
I'll show pictures of the mural when Billy get back from CA, he took the pics before he left but didn't download them for before he left.
Painting big stuff like a mural is sooo much fun. I hope the owners will love it when they get back from vacation.
