WHENEVER

Whenever

Don't tell me whenever.

Because whenever will take a good long time

and because whenever could become never.

Well maybe not never, I usually will do it, eventually

but I will wait until the last minute.

What in the Hell am I talking about?

Oh, a commissioned painting.

You need to tell me when you need it by.

After the last painting that I did for someone at work

I still had another co-worker who had asked me to do a painting of her dog.

A dog that has passed on and whom I had never met.

But this co-worker said that "whenever" was fine.

So I got my Christmas projects done

and now my co-worker is about a month away from giving birth.

So I guess Whenever is here.

I knew for a while that I had better get it in gear.

I had been doing a little bit at a time.

I like to paint in the day time when the sun is shining in the windows and the light is really good.

I hate trying to do it at night next to a lamp...

So that just leaves me the weekends

and, I'm finally done.

Here's the photo:

and here's the painting -
