Here it is!  I am down to the wire.  I have a painting and a half to complete by morning, plus touch-ups to a few more.  The plan is to send out my artwork tomorrow by FedEx to arrive in Detroit by Saturday.  However, it will take all of my guardian angels who have ever watched over me in order for this to happen.  Unfortunately, this is typically the artist’s way, ‘the last minute!’  I think it’s some sort of gluten for punishment.  No matter how I plan it always seems to come down to the LAST MINUTE! I just returned from Michael’s Arts and Crafts 10 minutes before closing to purchase black paint of all things.  Black paint is the basis of all of my artwork, for God’s sake!  Nonetheless, that’s where I am right now and it is what it is, ‘the last minute!’                                                                                                             “Oh what a tangled web we weave…”
