I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it - Steven Wright.

Time for me to make the abstract take form: sadly it will be with an extenda-roller rather than oils on canvas. I may be absent for a bit - painting, filling, sanding, painting, nailing, cussing... Have to make our place presentable for the valuation that makes this possible. Have to make it presentable in what's left of the weekend while working around three kids, one dog, two cats and assorted fish. Oh joy. Wish me luck. mtc Bec
