No, I've turned all of the panels around and I am currently painting a couple coats of clear varnish on the backsides. I wanted to do the backs first because I wasn't sure how tacky it would be for and for how long. The primer we used seemed to always have a certain degree of tackiness - even at this point. If that was to be the case with the varnish, then I wanted to do the fronts last and make sure they didn't lean up against anything while they awaited transportation.
I've now discovered that the varnish dries quickly and the finish isn't tacky at all. Good! Now, I plan to put the panels one at a time on sawhorses and paint a couple coats on the fronts and all edges.
I had really hoped to be done by now - I feel like things have been moving at a snails pace. Of course, we have since had the memorial for my father-in-law, Robert Smith, and will soon be doing much to care for my mother-in-law as we are the only relatives in the area. We're also 2 1/2 weeks into our school year, now - so far so good! I have an 8th grader, a 5th grader, and a preschooler this year. Also, we'll be starting our multi-family, multi-subject co-op called Horizons on Tuesday. I've had A LOT of communication, organization, supplies, and general loose-ends to tie up. So, I will be "laboring" on that this Labor Day Weekend.
Still, God is great and life is good! Just keep plugging away...

The five 4'x8' MDO panels were delivered a week ago (they look a lot bigger in my garage than I imagined). I spent the past few days using a latex wood filler to fill gaps in the layered edges, and then today, 4 delightful helpers from Town Center Gallery came by to help me with the primer. Thanks to Hattie Stoddard, Beverly Johnson, and Tom and Rella Heslop - it would have taken me a long time to get it done. Also, thanks to Home Depot here in Santa Maria for donating the primer and rollers!

Lots of wonderful things have been happening lately on my travels toward an illustration/art career: my art classes have been going well, I now have some prints available for sale on Etsy and soon-to-be at Town Center Gallery, and I was selected to do an 8' x 20' mural by the Town Center Gallery. It will eventually go somewhere in Santa Maria, but the location is still be determined. My plan is to keep everyone updated on the progress...
