So close!

It's too late to write much, but it looks like it may actually be possible to finish it. About an hour ago I had my doubts. I kept painting stubbornly despite the fact that my eyes could hardly stay open because I just had to get to the point where I got at least some background in. I just couldn't be beat by a little zinnia no matter how many petals it shows off. Oh and my guest painting lesson at the preschool was great. We painted like Eric Carle. Tomorrow we'll cut out our "very hungry caterpillars". For kicks, I think we'll add googly eyes. Preschoolers appreciate those kind of things. But for now, I'll go close my eyes for reals now, where I'm not in danger of falling off of my painting chair.
