| The
Concept:

One of my original cubist paintings, Songbird,
acrylic on stretched canvas, 24"x30", SOLD
My husband and I started painting at 9:00 pm
with an air brush, a paint brush and a sponge. 1st we
projected it on the wall, then chalked on the outline,
then Shelby outlined it in black with the air gun.
Here is the progression of painting:
Part way there.

There are no pictures of me on the ladder, but I
really did get up there!


Over half way there...

Sponging paint on.

I even got brave and used the air brush! (Tools and
me don't get along, lol!)

Shelby, armed with an air brush!


Shelby gets up on ladders all the time, this is
nothing to him.



Done at 3:00 am! *yawn*
 
Our baby Shaylee was so good, she slept through most
of it - even the noisy air compressor!
