What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Joel got his electric bike back! Yay!!! He is off getting groceries now, but I look forward to hearing his report. Not much else going on. I'm painting a picture of some succulents. It is fun, but will take forever. I think I'm going to try premixing the colors and adding some retarder, so that they don't dry immediately. _Maybe_ that will speed up the process. Otherwise, I fiddle with the colors for each leaf, which draws the process out. I've seen other places where people suggest this slightly more "paint by number" approach. We'll see if it helps.
