Just what do artist's do when they get bored??
Why, they paint things on their houses of course!

The view of our house from the new subdivision next door.
Kim & I walked up there the other day, we took one look our house,
saw a large bare wall under Marni's room, turned to each other and said "mural!"

So now I am going to document the murals progress.

Day 1 (16th August)
Our good mate Emu painted the wall white so I would have a nice base to begin with. Thanks heaps Emu.
Day 2 (18th August)
The long 'drawn' out process of drawing the design on the wall Up and down ladders!!!! I drew it in chalk first then painted the outlines. I want to colour it now!!! But have to get the paint first.
Day 3 (19th August)
Yay!!! At last I get to paint, didn't start until after 1pm though, cos I had an important meeting with a striped possum, another striped possum and Steve Parish (the photographer). And I had to buy some extra paint. But at last I am into it.
Have to stand WAYYY back to get the full picture.
Wednesday 20th August) Worked at the Environment centre, and people didn't leave until late ...didn't they know I wanted to be painting? Oh well, at least tomorrow I get a full day at it - hope it doesn't rain, I will be reduced to tears if it does.
Day 4 (Friday 22st August) 12:00 noon I was reduced to tears, it did rain yesterday! How inconsiderate!!!! But today, even though it is overcast and I am watching the sky, I am back into. I started around 9:30am, will be interesting to see how much I can get done today. 3pm the mad pack up as I was watching the rain coming across the water, hoping that it just keeps on going along the coast, to give the paint a chance to dry fingers crossed... Day 5 (Saturday 23rd August) I was slack and just slothed around until 1:30ish, as I worked with the band last night. I repainted the light green from yesterday as I didn't like it, otherwise I would have had more finished. Still, there's always tomorrow.
Day 6 (Sunday 24th August) Got quite a bit done today, but things have slowed down now, as I am re-coating colours... boring...
RAIN!!!!!! speaking of boring .... it has been raining, and on days when it hasn't been, I have been busy with other things :-(
Day 7 (Thursday 18th September) Yehaaa! It is 12:47 and I am off to paint ... woohoo have been hanging out to get back onto it :-)
