Artcar Progress: A Practice Run





Update on the the Morning Glory Project: I'm testing my plan on a thrift-shop file cabinet before actually approaching my car with sander or spray paint can.

I've sensed the old Camry warily watching this progress, but I think this first practice attempt is looking pretty good. Though I'm going to get a new green; this one's a little murky. And I'll paper over a larger area, since the green misted the top white part a bit here.

I've also realized that doing this around both sides and back of my car is going to take longer than the Sistine Chapel. That's all right. (My husband tells me I like "Great Wall of China projects." I think that's a useful cast of mind for a novelist.)




Note: Part II of A Mid-Atlantic Turning Point in My Writing will appear Friday.
