Christmas Eve 2

So, I got a LOT accomplished today which was VERY necessary if I am going to pull off this HUGE task. With the help of my son Nick today, I built five 48″ wood panels with 2×2 frames that were stapled to the back. Then I put a first coat of flat house paint to seal the wood and I will add another coat later tonight. Since I only have about 50 minutes to complete each painting during the services on Christmas Eve, I will need to prepare each panel with a rough start of a landscape painting. That will actually be very nice to have a head start before each service starts. When the congregation begins to enter the main room, I will already be on stage with my brush in hand and they will not know where I started. They will just sit down and the service will begin… then the fun begins ;-)

Here is the five framed panels getting prepared with a coat of flat house paint. It is a cheap $5 gallon of discarded paint I picked up at Home Depot.

    Ahhh….you are wearing a t-shirt outside…it is so blustery cold here….and snow is in 10-20″ drifts at the moment….brrrrrrrrr….. Your Christmas eve plan sounds exhausting but definitely energizing to you!!

    Well Scott, don’t let the t-shirt fool you, It has been cold here too. I have to tell you, we are used to having Christmas Day be 80 degrees… it has been in the 30s at night and onlin the upper 50s in the daytime. ;) Peace, Rich
