Sounds like three of a kind to me.  Glad you listened to me about that foreground color, now, aren't you?

Poor Bill!
We were listening to the Grand Funk Railroad today and the guys voice made the terrier go nuts. There's one part where he kind of hoots, we think he thought it was an owl.

I love those movies!
The only thing I painted today was my front hall closet. I'm redoing my shelving system. It's amazing how long it can take to paint a few walls.

Good luck I hope it goes well.
The prep work is what takes so long, the painting is the fun part to me.

My Ex always accused me of being slow and sloppy at painting to get sent elsewhere.

Re: April Fantasy and Sci-Fi Art Monthly Challenge and Chat!
I love painting walls, once the prep stuff is done. The shelves are all in now.
We woke up to snow today! It's supposed to be in the seventies by Wednesday, that drastic of a change should be good for some storms.

Re: April Fantasy and Sci-Fi Art Monthly Challenge and Chat!
Nice here today, mowed the whole lawn today.
That's many hours of work, really fast it can be 4.5 hours regular about 5.5 hours. I didn't push myself so it took the long time.
Glad it is done, now I can have fun with a clear conscience.

Re: April Fantasy and Sci-Fi Art Monthly Challenge and Chat!
Wow Dianna, that's way too much grass to cut. Ours takes 2 or 3 hours. I hate cutting grass but at least we have riding mower. When my husband helps I get stuck with the push mower parts. Funny thing, I can do a lot more with the riding mower than he can.
No lawn here yet but the frozen puddles were pretty big this morning.

Re: April Fantasy and Sci-Fi Art Monthly Challenge and Chat!
Michelle one of these days we'll get a riding mower, but for now we have two push mowers.
When Terry is healthy he takes one and I take the other and it gets done in only a couple hours.
One of us alone takes forever!
Plus first mow of the year takes a bit longer, small downed limbs and other winter stuff in the lawn.

Takes our yard guys like an hour to mow and edge. After that, we're on our own. I take care of the trees and plantings, Susie the weeds an she also makes suggestions on how I can improve my duties.

Re: April Fantasy and Sci-Fi Art Monthly Challenge and Chat!
Sweet! I got the pics scanned. cropped, and e-mailed. Sorry, Bill, but they cut off the bottom 10% of your Acrylics pic.

Re: April Fantasy and Sci-Fi Art Monthly Challenge and Chat!
Don't worry about it, sweetie. I always leave plenty of foreground and background for problems like that. Cropping usually improves the pic, though not always.
