Painting Garden Decor for Extra Money

I have been painting the statues and birdhouses from a friend's garden for a couple of months now for extra money. She sends them home with me and provides the paint and such to make them into beautiful works of art. I currently have about 5 pieces sitting on my dining room table that I am working on. She said to take my time, and that I had until spring to have them completed. This morning, she did something unusual. I woke up to a knock at my door. It was her, holding a plain wooden birdhouse. She said "I need this done like yesterday!", meaning as soon as possible. She said she wants it mostly orange with maybe some yellow and brown. She doesn't care what designs I do. So, I am in a bit of a rush today. I want to get this birdhouse done as soon as possible for her, but I don't want my work to look rushed. I am typing this while some of the paint is drying. I will be on MyLot in and out throughout the day as I take breaks from painting. Maybe I will upload a photo once it's finished so you all can see it!

It would be nice to see a photo of the finished product if you don't mind of course!
