Church Painting: Day Nine...

 
 
 

Today's work included painting yellow ochre onto the border decorating the center of the church and blue behind the hand-drawn napkin that decorates the base of the church walls.  The children and I were kept hopping with outside activities after our lessons were done for the day (our final science class and a trip to visit our parish's deacon and his wife for cookie baking and some model train track building), but I was still able to slip into the church to help out with a little of the work (using a woolie to help blend colors to give the wall some depth and measuring for and tracing out part of the design that will be added to the border soon).  We have about eight more days until the work must cease for Holy Week, so we are racing against the clock to get the church looking as nice as possible for Pascha (which is May 1st this year).
