Saturday, September 3rd was my longest workday: 8.3 hours!

Far wing almost done!

Aaand: DONE!

Priming and painting light colors is murder on my eyes. My astigmatism acted up a lot, mostly due to intense focus.

Took a bike ride up Powell Butte to loosen up. I was rewarded with this amazing scene at the summit!

Back to work: tail feathers almost complete!
