Description

After 4 months... the finished painting! Thank you all for your support! The charity auction at my work went over very well and I raised $155 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention with the offer of a commissioned acrylic painting. $255 for that charity overall, including a Cessna 172 flight I offered in a separate listing that went for $100.

Thanks so much! It had been so long since I painted anything. It was really nice to go back to this art form. I hope to get back into painting more in the future.

Thank you. I remember the first time I saw them. My sister was pointing them out to me because she doesn't like them, but I was just fascinated because I had never seen them before.

SkyfireDragon In reply to Kimi-Parks [2018-06-11 05:38:06 +0000 UTC]

The down side is that in a group they are smelly! We ha a colony living on the dock at the refinery I worked at.

Kimi-Parks In reply to SkyfireDragon [2018-06-12 03:51:52 +0000 UTC]

Oh the rock they usually hang out is pretty much whitewashed by their poop. But any smell they create is overshadowed by the incredible smell of the seaweed that washes up on the beach. I've noticed a lot more washing up lately. My boyfriend won't even go down to the beach anymore because it smells so bad.

Kimi-Parks In reply to lambda-shaka [2018-06-07 03:26:53 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I was only able to work on it for an hour or two in the evenings, and I had to take several weeks off to prepare to move. So total I probably spent 40-50 hours on it, but that time had to be spread out over a few months.

lambda-shaka In reply to Kimi-Parks [2018-06-07 20:04:25 +0000 UTC]

yeah i guess so, i usually take breaks for the things i do (which i rarely ever do now)

Kimi-Parks In reply to lambda-shaka [2018-06-10 00:45:08 +0000 UTC]

I wish I could only do one thing at a time until it's done, but there always seems to be something pulling me away. I've gotten used to it.

lambda-shaka In reply to Kimi-Parks [2018-06-13 17:43:11 +0000 UTC]

Agreed, or in my case, I never manage to do anything! I've also gotten used to it; it's weird

Kimi-Parks In reply to lambda-shaka [2018-06-18 02:06:32 +0000 UTC]

I know the feeling. Not that I'm okay with quitting. Just okay knowing that whatever it is won't get done for 10 years. lol

lambda-shaka In reply to Kimi-Parks [2018-06-20 00:37:01 +0000 UTC]

I'm used to it by now, I can't expect myself to do anything unless I'm okay with the fact it's probably not even going to be done until a month, and that's the bare minimum.  Most of the time I have to force myself to do it especially when I don't feel productive.

Kimi-Parks In reply to lambda-shaka [2018-06-20 23:38:15 +0000 UTC]

It's not a bad outlook to have, honestly. Better than getting angry that you can't finish something right away and then not doing it at all.
