Plotting and Scheming

Rehearsal before Chuck's Birthday Bowling

This is pushing two weeks. Waaay too long to keep my interest.

This is taking a longer time than normal. Free time been taken by catching up on my grade book and prepping for other assignments.

Kate Sullivan 5th Grade Rocks! (As if you didn't know)

Wife asked me to throw this together. This is what an hour looks like (with scanning and stuff.)

Bouncing around a bit, I felt inspired to paint the covers for Flash Trotters 4,5,6,7 and 8 this summer.

That didn't happen.

Some time in June or July (I really don't remember) I was able to gesso and draw the cover to Flash Totter #7 (no, I haven't even written it yet!) During Pre-planning week and the first week of school, I was able to complete it. For the next four days, I will be posting my progress. I usually paint by filling in ares of color first. For this one, I swam against the current and painted one element at a time and I think the results speak for themselves. It ended up being one of those few pieces where it didn't look like I painted it. Those are my favorites. We'll see how 4,5,6, and 8 end up.

We went to Wild Adventures  for Big D's birthday yesterday. Brought the whole family and then some: Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Joey, Little P, Big D, the Missus and Me, Miss Lindsay, Miss Karissa, Ella, Cole, Owen, Kylie AND Luke. We left the house at 8:45am and didn't come home until 9:30pm. It was a long and glorious day! As a result, the birthday boy fell asleep and I didn't read to the kids. (Days 90&105 having not read to them.)
