Happy Birthday to brother Artist David in Missouri! You inspire me.
Today I started by basecoating "Child's Play" Sherwin Williams 6845 (light blue-pink) in SATIN finish. I talked client into letting me do ceiling!!!! Love how it expands the room visually. Added dinner plate sized polka dots in semi-gloss, same color. Could have used polyurethane, but that can be runny/messy. Chalked circles 13 inches diameter, 19 inches apart side to side and 26 inches apart vertically from high dot to one straight down. If you get the vertical lines just right the polka dot pattern looks really cool. Freehand painted circles, erased chalk guidelines.
Snail is taken from the baby.gap bedding collection "Sleeping Snail."Stitch lines, eye, antenae=white

Snail body= "Hibiscus" SW 6851

Our kitchen. Notice how I am ignoring the color cues from the outdated green tiles and chose a happy cheddar cheesy color and hot pink. Added this phrase again, dropped the "here." I like how the quote means many things, many levels. We could be longing for God's comfort, or our longing for your comfort as you come and visit our shelter....It is a John Landbeck quote. My man of many words!

I love seeing your wall paintings. You do such beautiful work. I thought of you today because my girls, neighbor and I went to the Face Off at the Urban Gallery where a number of artists are painting on garage doors. http://www.337project.org/ They had just started their projects a few hours before we got there and already everything was looking beautiful! My camera battery died and so I took photos with my neighbors camera. I hope to go back tomorrow when the doors will be finished to get photos of the end result and blog about it. I thought of you because I started thinking about painting my shed doors again and will need your encouragement!
I hopw we can go see your polka dots in person. Thank you for making the world beautiful. And I love your word-play!
This afternoon I held that baby. He kept me warm while Luanna slept.
Snails go with having babies. Slow but sure.
