I tried to paint a picture of my mother's house, using a cutout of a picture I printed. I should've just stuck with a drawing, not a painting - the paint dribbled across lines and wouldn't stay put. I'd gotten the 13410 in tiny letters in ink by the door - almost readable. Then I did a wash of white to try and get rid of some of the spills. It made the numbers run. I may try a pen and ink drawing- cut it out and put it on the paper I washed a watercolor I had done on the back of Grandma Roberts' Certificate of Proficiency - 1914. It isn't "sheepskin ", it's just paper. The printing on it held up well both when being painted and being washed. It does have some pinholes though. It also has a color wash with some of the color from my original painting on it. 

I called Greg to see if he was okay and he is, but his new TV got taken out by a power surge. Apparently his Spectrum internet is not doing too good either and that's why we haven't seen a lot from him on Facebook. He sound okay. I asked him if he'd cleaned up enough to post pictures of his new place. He chuckled and said no. I hope he doesn't let the place get really grubby.

Steven has a doctor's appointment for his wellness checkup  tomorrow. Vanguard has called two separate days - at 7:30 in the morning- to remind him, leaving a message. Woodgie's vet appointment is Friday- in the afternoon. We switched it from the blizzard day the last week in February.
