A couple of weeks ago, as I sat down to do some painting with one of the little kids that I am babysitting, I realized that I had found another creative outlet. Wow, I never realized at 53 years old, that I would be painting and loving it. My canvases have been odd pieces of cardboard that I have saved. The first two pieces that I painted – Miss Anela (my painting partner) decided to keep them for herself. I have a fan, already. She is four but that’s okay. She has awesome taste. Unfortunately I did not take any photographs. Yesterday we painted again. I snapped photos of the last two pieces that I painted and am going to post them on this blog.
You never know what you will find on any given day. I had no idea. So I urge you all to take care within your day, and you just might happen upon something that will provide you with joy and fun. I really love painting. We are getting low in the paint supplies. I must give many thanks to my friend Anick who, when she was going through things before their move back to Quebec …… asked me if I wanted a box that had paints, brushes, cloth to protect table, painting aprons and other goodies. I am so happy that I said “YES”.
So here are my “great” works of art …… you never know someday I might be the next BIG DEAL…. in the art world. …
The fun thing about the painting from yesterday. The cardboard seemed to bow at bit but it gives the piece some dimension, which suits it fine.
