Today's a rainy day in Paris....
Maybe just as well, we’ve been on the road for three weeks and are looking forward to getting home.

Flamingo Mural I painted it in 2 stages. The big bird was done before a party. My PHriend was so pleased, she asked me to continued the mural at some point. I made the 150 mile trip 2 months later and added the other birds. Total painting time was less than 5 hours.

[smilie=gt-happyup.gif] Beautiful, Bill!
A most mysterious calling harbour
So far, but yet, so near
Where I see the day
When my hair's full gray
and I finally...disappear. BUT NOT YET!!

Hiya, Marty! I started this with just the big flamingo before the Northcoasyt house party. The owner was so pleased, she asked for more, so I added on. A lot of PHun!
