It's my new painting project! I'm doing a backdrop for a model train table. 18 feet long (in five panels) and 27 inches high.
This will be different because I'm going to be working on it at home. I suspect I probably won't be able to get much done when Doug's not here, so it may be a very slow process. It doesn't have to be done till Christmas, but I figured I'd better get it started as soon as possible. It might actually take me that long.
I got the primer on yesterday. Kate wanted to help. This turned out to be not such a great idea after all. Messy.
Doug said, "I reckon there ain't one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it the way it's got to be done." (Well, okay, that's not exactly what he said--I had to look it up--but he was pretty close.)
I'm excited about painting again! I haven't done anything since Barb's giraffe. I'm going to do some cool stuff with clouds.

Oh wow! Now Allen's going to stalk your blog... =)
I can't wait to see the finished project. You always make the neatest murals.
That does sound cool.
I love my giraffes!!
My initial response to "Guess what this is?" was "Uhh, eighteen feet of plywood?
Just out of curiosity, who is it for?
Let me amend that question. I don't really need a name--that might not be appropriate. I'm just wondering if it might be for someone who has a passion for model trains like your Uncle Fred did with the McCloud River Railroad.
It's for Sylvia's husband, for Christmas. Supposed to be a surprise, but she said he'd never look at my blog so I guess I can say. (Shhhhh!)
Cool. OK, I won't say a word. ^-^
