Day Twenty One

Well, I didn't finish using the lift today, but I'm pretty sure I'm close to being finished. What do you think?

Days18-20

Sorry for the delay in posting the images! Today is the last day I'll be using the lift...then I'll continue working on the bottom portion for a while...then we will have a circlebration.

Day Sixteen and Seventeen

Come on Buffalo Weather! Get with it! It's almost there!

Day Fourteen and Fifteen--Upward

Just give me a couple good days of sunshine and Starlight will be sparkling!

Day Fourteen

Yesterday (Day Fourteen), was a green and orange kinda day. Today was just rain!

Extra Long Day Thirteen

As I'm writing this I can hear the rain just pouring down. Because the forecast was calling for rain tonight and tomorrow I put in longer than usual day today. I spent most of the day on the left side of the building, but worked some over the door. I figure I will have tomorrow off because of the Buffalo weather so I tried to make good use of the time before the down pour.

Still getting lots of feedback from passersby. Honks, thumbs up, general shout ups to me, but I also get the frequent circle joke. Today's were, "Hey when you guys get done painting, you should play some music.....tiny bubbles........" and the always hilarious, "Hey you missed a spot!" but my favorite all time "circle" comment came from Starlight artist Paul who told me I was a victim of ciclestance.

Day Twelve--Monday

Despite ominous clouds I was able to make some progress today. I worked mostly on the right side of the of the building w/ blue and green but some purple and pink circles also made a presence.

Day Eleven

Day eleven was cut short due to rain. Drat! Hopefully nothing got washed away. It was very hot earlier in the day and the paint was drying fast. Well, if it does get washed away I'll just repaint it. Mostly purple, pink and red paint used today. I tried to focus most of my work today on the area above the front door because since it's Saturday no artists were going in and out of the center.

UPDATE: I drove by Starlight this morning and it appears all circles made it through the crazy rain last night! they say tomorrow will be dry, but the rain is still coming down so I don't have that much confidence!

Day Ten

I braved the threatening weather today and was able to cover up most of the "running" circles from Saturday's rain and more. With the help of Carrie and Carrianne I was able to move the Sky Jack into better (and more stable) position & then it was circle time! Pink, orange and yellow were the colors of the day. The weather forecast doesn't look good for the next week, but since I snuck some painting in today I'm hoping to cheat the weather for a few more days. On the paint cans it says not use the paint if the weather is below 40 degrees. It was about 46 out today.

Special thanks to Starlight teachers Joel and Carrianne who worked on the "cubbie" area today--that area is almost complete! Thanks also to those who of you who have expressed enthusiasm and encouragement to me & Starlight about this project. It does make a difference!
