The paint is still drying, but -

The pint is still drying, but if I say so myself, I think I'm getting the hang of painting - still can't quite get a whole flower on a canvas, though (and that canvas is 2' x 3', which is a whole lot bigger than the whole plant was). Anyway, I'm still having fun, though my clothes do seem to manage to collect more than their fair share of added color.

Dry season has arrived....

Now that dry season is finally here, we can have the windows open, which means we can do smelly projects - for instance, the polyurethane fumes, which we used to seal the faux ties on the living room floor & the shelving unit Paul suspended over the rock Carlos left in our living room floor ... I'm still not 100% thrilled with that rock, mainly because that was supposed to be an open area/walkway & that rascal loves to trip people. Hence the shelves Paul suspended in the danger area.

This is the corner on the other side of the front door:

And this is a view of the living room from the dining room - the open door on the left goes to the back patio.
