I can&#8217;t paint the snow before the sculpture is in the shaddows because the pigment will simply hasten the melt. Still, I&#8217;m making far more progress than I had hoped. I&#8217;ll probably have it all painted before my community ed French class at six tonight. If not I&#8217;ll finish it up in the morning. I took a picture of it with the shadows beginning to be cast on it. That&#8217;s the worst time of day for me to take a picture but still for those of you wondering about my progress take a look:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49580593061_4b3e968edc_c.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>People don&#8217;t quite have it figured out yet. Maybe they never will. I restored Trump&#8217;s face and carved out much more of the civil war warriors than I expected to. I&#8217;ve had to reapply snow constantly through the day as it sluffs off in the sun.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been singing the civil war songs my Mom used to play on the piano and asked one person who stopped by if he&#8217;d ever seen a copy of President Trump&#8217;s birth certificate. He said he hadn&#8217;t and I suggested that maybe we all ought to get a look. He said he&#8217;d look into it.<\/p>\n<p>The colors to come? Blue and gray of course. And Red, Yellow and orange. And if you are curious how closely this comes to my initial design here&#8217;s my model. I am quite pleased with myself so far.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49515636048_047d16e021_c.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It will also taketh away.
