Big Projects, Back to Back

The month of April has flown by, and I haven't had the energy to update at all! Here's what I've been up to:

Painting a big red barn for the background of my work's Annual Talent Showcase. This year's theme was "The Grand Ole Opry" and I'm sad that I didn't get a chance to see my barn in action. The kiddo came down with strep throat the night of the performance, so we stayed home.


Here's a photo for context. The background is at least 20 feet wide and 11 feet tall. My thighs we burning for days after all the ladder climbing/moving. Oh man. I'm hoping to track down photos from the performance so I can show off the finished piece. It's already back in storage, so I can't take my own photos.


Next up, the background for my work's next play, Nunsense. We did Nunsense two years ago and we're bringing it back for an encore performance.


I painted the set last time, remember? I changed up the design a little, but all in all, an easy project. I'm finishing up all the props on Wednesday, fingers crossed. The curtains open on Friday!
