The Horse and the Palm Tree

Image
April 28, 2016. Back home again. This is a scene from my living room. Mostly puttered about getting ready for a long flight to Malaysia tomorrow. The horse was a gift from my first visit to Saudi Arabia, while the palm tree lived in my Moncton office for about eight years. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1QDLS6a

Saint-Lazare

Image
April 27, 2016. Flew back to Montreal, then drove home, stopping for coffee here at Saint-Lazare. The painting isn't finished, and I have other repairs to do, so I need to book a return visit to Monctin for May. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1QDLPqU

Rest

Image
April 25, 2016. I had to take a day off painting. Also, I moved into a hotel. It got to be a bit much breaking paint fumes 24 hours a day. Back at it tomorrow. Also: I say Batman vs Superman. Not as bad as critics say. Critics forget they are watching a comic book. It's a series of scenes, not a video. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1Tdziwo

The House

Image
April 23, 2016. This is what the Moncton house looks like now. Compare with what it looked like when we moved out. The porch is new, and the oak tree is gone (it will be replaced). Much nicer roof, Big improvements on the inside too; the wiring was completely redone and some walls and ceilings refinished. Today (and for the next few days) I'm painting inside. Accomplishments: - supplies purchased - living room ceiling, hall ceiling, upstairs hall ceiling painted. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1TrbwPZ

Roadside Brush

Image
April 22, 2016. This is some brush at the exit from the 417 5 km away from the Quebec border. I drove to Montreal, caught a flight to Moncton, and am not preparing to work on the house for a bit. Saw a movie this evening: Criminal. What was pretty good. Every other movie showing in Moncton right now is a children's film. Seriously. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1SrF8dE
