I've been working hard at least 5 minutes a week to put this puppy to bed. The painting is taking on a chalky white powdery appearance. Thats "wax bloom". Wax is rising to the surface as the painting sits. It can be gently wiped off, but more appears within a few hours. If you wipe it too hard or often it will "burnish" and have a glossy appearance. That you can't change.
Kurt is hiding behind my t.v. (Not literally though.) You may ask yourself what kind of
stalker fan I am if I've tucked his pictures in behind where I can't be reminded of how far behind I am on his portrait! Exactly! Plus having him up where my family could see him day in and out was distrubing to them. They don't appreciate the humour of a good portrait with a man picking his nose as much as I do apparently.
I really mean it this time when I say that I'm going to finish this painting and move on to Kurt and the other frog this week. Well, more than I meant it last time I said it anyhow. I suppose I'll mean it most when the kids go back to school. How many more days until September 7th?

That frog painting is so great..I hope you finish it up soon and start another one!
I can't believe there are any children in the world who don't laugh at a grown man picking his nose. What are they teaching kids up there?
You know what else all kids love: when you eat cake, and then you start talking with frosting all over your teeth.
Get to work!
OH...poor you...I so know the feeling of being snowed under with so much to do on the art side of things. I'm still trying to finish up my commitment on the Pay It Forward gifts and it's amazing how easily the distractions crop up to stop me. Those distractions better remember all the things I do for them and not stick me in a nursing home in my twilight years. ;)
i hate wax bloom :/ and a picture of a grown man picking his nose is funny...unless he starts eating it o.0
Thanks Sandy!
Kurt, I didn't say it was the kids that didn't like it;-) You must have been a popular teacher.
Megan, yes boss;-)
Serena, you definitely have a lot to distract you lately.
Jennifer Rose, agreed!
