More success today. Went back to Home Depot, and got my 30 x 30 boards. I felt so adamant about them being that size. NOT 24 x 24. I'm happy with that choice.

Moved onto paints, and got stymied again. But I found the solution I was looking for - Temperas. Easy to mix. Really flat finish. Bright colors. Flexible. And Cheap! Cheap is maybe most important.

I'm sooooo wary of making mistakes. Wasting. Being unhappy with results. It can be paralyzing, because I feel so UNfree to be creative. There are too many consequences. I'm all focused on consequences. Sucks.

Anyway, think I'm on my way.
