Breaking the rules… or not

Posts Tagged ‘plan’

After studying “Don’t Suck Me In” for awhile, I decided it needed some retouch varnish before making any changes.  It had a dead appearance and needed brightening up a bit.  That was a good start.  Now, I could proceed with actual changes or additions, whatever the case may be.  I decided additions were needed.  I zeroed in on what was supposed to be my center of interest.  I used some white spray paint, silver spray paint and white oilstick.  As you can see, I added some writing:  “Open for business”.

I already had a plan in mind for the coup de grace.  But, I’d have to wait for the paint to dry before proceeding.  That was hard because I really wanted to charge in and finish it up and stand back and gloat about adding the perfect final touches.  White paint can take a long time to dry, so patience was required.  The image here shows where I had to leave off.  It may not look that much more exciting than before I started.  You may even wonder if it helped at all.  You may wonder if I’m crazy.  Why would she do THAT?

You’ll have to hold your breath til the final installment.
