Oh, the painting!

I am sore. I am tired. My ankles are swollent to the point where they look and feel like they'll bust open. I am hungry. I am eating Havarti cheese on sourdough bread. I have been painting since 11:15 this morning. Tomorrow I do the same things all over again for a second coat.

What I've learnt this go-around. Dark colours such as burgundy, when put over white, need a grey primer underneath for better coverage. Otherwise it could take four coats just to look decent.

Here's a quiz. I'm dubious about the outcome. What are you?

You Are Scissors

Sharp and brilliant, you can solve almost any problem with that big brain of yours.
People fear your cutting comments - and your wit is famous for being both funny and cruel.
Deep down, you tend to be in the middle of an emotional storm. Your own complexity disturbs you.
You are too smart for your own good. Slow down a little - or you're likely to hurt yourself.

You can cut a paper person down to pieces.

The only person who can ruin you is a rock person.

When you fight: You find your enemy's weak point and exploit it.

If someone makes you mad: You'll do everything you can to destroy their life
