Burning the Candle at all Four Ends

Mary basically started drawing this painting out last week. Only to not work on it practically all last weekend do to heavy backpain and a visiting sister. So that left actually three days to finish by the thursday due date. If you can see by Mary's elbow, that whole the bottom right hand corner is not yet finished. I took this picture shortly before I went to bed around 3:30 AM SATURDAY MORNING.

Nobody can burn the midnight oil like Mary can. I think I can pretty much swear by that. She painted almost a total of 40 hours since Wednesday bouncing around her Starbucks schedule only to work on it all through the night on Friday and finally finishing it up at 7 am on Saturday. Which means the wet paint signs that she had taped on the frame at the show starting at 10 am weren't just for looks. So she is pretty much exhausted as of now. Mary is my hero.
Or hero-es? Either way I am totally proud of her for kicking this monster out in basically a weeks time. This painting is so dang sweet, and no not because it is of me. - jonny
