Day 40 ~ Painted Lady

Day 40 ~ Painted Lady

Feb 9, 2014

My first: I painted in the nude.

This evening I was painting the trim and doors in my newly renovated master bedroom. When I got to the door that enters the room, I spiced things up a bit. I got my camera set up in the hall and got undressed. It was time for my “first” of the day and I had never painted in the nude! Can ya believe it? Having this Aversion to Nudity Syndrome is a cross to bear and my year of “firsts” is a good time to perhaps chisel away at it a bit.

Painting the door entering into my bedroom was safe enough because there were no windows in the hall…just in case there were peeping Toms around the neighborhood. But I think the freezing cold weather would hinder that kind of activity anyway.

As I was painting the door, I was actually concentrating on the task at hand and had to remind myself that I was naked. Then I started imagining that there might be ghosts in my house watching this spectacle. And then, of course, I imagined someone walking in on me, but after all it was 10:30 at night and all my doors were locked!

But then it was picture time! That is when things got interesting. And soon it was time to delete, delete, delete.  That’s all you need to know…
