Know Your Skill Set

An excellent day of bus painting, finishing my bandido and his dog (photos soon). My imagination yet again outstripped ability and there was an embarrassingly public moment where I and everyone in the caravan park could clearly see that I am incapable of painting hands or guns. Since I was standing there with paintbrush in hand, I couldn't claim (as I have on previous occasions) that the bus painting had been done by handicapped children.

But with helpful suggestions from roof carpenter neighbour Paul and various passersby, I managed to fix it (sort of - squinting helps). Except for the bit where Smokey dragged his tail across the lower half of the rifle. I retired for the evening with a renewed respect for the great artists like Rembrandt and the people who draw The Simpsons.
