I thought I *had* finished...
me: so what do you think of the new picture?
neighbor: oooh, yeah, I've been watching you working on this. It's much better now you've got rid of the green...
me: yeah, ha, I try to do different colors, but it never works out... I always end up going back to the reds!
neighbor: yeah, no, I like her- it's a nice idea
me: it's just taken so long. Partly, because I needed to wait for the green to dry... and partly because I have no idea what I am doing.
neighbor: it'll look really good when you actually finish it- I'm sure you'll figure out how it's meant to go and and get her looking great.
me: er, yeah, ha, um, yeah- bit more work, and it should be okay.
