etc.

What I really need is a set of decent oil paints.

There is a canvas in our dining room, and upon it is painted a white picket fence. The mister wanted a house with a white picket fence, but since we bought and moved into this house, which does not have a white picket fence, I decided to paint one for him. And I did, in acrylic. And the canvas is hanging in our dining room, and has been for a year and a half. And, frankly, I’m a bit weary from looking at it for the past year and a half. I’d like to hang it in the spare bedroom, above the bed, and start on a new canvas for the dining room. I have in mind good material for the new canvas, I’ve done some sketches, and I’m ready to have a go at it (on my easel! The mister found me an easel at a garage sale last year (odd, it is, to say that) and I haven’t used it yet). But first I need a set of decent oil paints.

I promise I’ll show it to you when it is done. The canvas, that is, not the paints.
