Spray Paint

I never get it right. After that first light coat, and already a drip or two, I kind of say "what the heck" and spray it all liberally. This results in a beautiful sheen of color with some drips and some strange crackly areas. I probably should have sanded the item better, first.



I also think my cat is experiencing a high similar to catnip euphoria, just from the fumes I brought downstairs with me. I knew I shouldn't have done it indoors. I thought the studio would be a fine place to do it, but then I had to peel plastic off the window to vent the room (and it is still technically winter.) Anyway, I came downstairs and he started making some huffing noises and wanted to be near me.


One more thing. Singer-songwriters by the first name of Matthew, I seem to like. Matthew West, Matt Maher, Matthew Perryman Jones, Matthew Mayfield. I'm sure there are more. That's why I'm on my way right now to the "M" section on Noisetrade.com, where I discovered Matthew Perryman Jones and Matthew Mayfield.

P.S. Generally not Matts, but Matthews. I was sampling Matt after Matt at Noisetrade and thinking I'd disproven my theory, until I realized it was only Matts. I skipped on to the Matthews and immediately felt my theory was being supported again. Not that none of the Matthews sound amateurish, but they seem to have a better ear for what is beautiful.

P.P.S. My sister says I didn't prove anything.
