My grandmother is Italian, and about seven years ago my whole family went to Italy. One thing that my grandma desperately wanted to see was "the fingers." She wanted to see the fingers of God and Adam in The Creation on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. I am not sure what she thought she was going to see, as in I am not sure if she knew it was on a ceiling... Anyways, I pushed her up in her wheel chair and put her directly under the fingers. I told her where they were and then walked off to see what I wanted to see. I came back, got her and we left. Just as we exited, and could not reenter the chapel, she asked me when she would get to see the fingers. I almost died.
Anyways, now it has turned into a running gag. THE FINGERS!
She asked me to paint said fingers for her. I told her that I would, but that she would have to pay for it. I have a new rule: if someone asks me to paint something for them, I charge; but if I choose to paint something for someone, obviously that is free. I have painted far too many "free paintings." "Free Paintings" because it is not free for me. You know?
Back to the fingers, I had to order a special board for them, which arrived today and I finished the drawing for them today as well:
