Day 5: Completion

I don’t know what else to say besides these two words: WE FINISHED.

Yes, we finished painting an entire piano. 5 days. 26 hours. 2 Fibonnaci spirals. 1 piece of piano sheet music. 9 planets. Countless stars and comets.

  

I cannot even begin to describe that moment when we stepped back and looked at our baby, the piano that we primed, painted, splattered, repainted, wrote on, repainted… The Lion King finale song was was playing in the background as we finally untaped everything, as we peeled away the plastic, as we finally put forth this work of art to the world.

And I played that piano. Its keys are a little light, a little loose, the notes a little flat, the high F sticks, but god it was an amazing feeling to finally lay my hands on those old piano keys and play it. Play it for what its worth — a toiled over, well earned piece of artistic success.
