I am calling today a success.

I had set today aside to be a Paint Day, a day to work on my Heart.  Just after noon, I was finally able to clear (almost) everything else off my desk and decided I was ready to start painting.  My goal was to finish one more crane…that would leave two cranes (the final vignette) and the base to complete.  To give me more motivation, I contacted the Nebraska By Heart folks and told them I would be done by Monday.

My dad’s old cassette player was acting up, so I worked in silence.  I took one break at around 4 p.m.  I had to call it quits for the day at 6:30 p.m. so I could go home and get ready for my church’s Good Friday service.

Friends, I am almost done.

I finished all of the cranes — I only have the legs of the last two to do.  That means when I get there tomorrow, I’ll do those legs and the base…and that’s it.

Check out a video here of how it looks as of 6:30 p.m. tonight.
