I really like the idea of getting outside or
en plein air & being creative. We were invited to visit friends yesterday who told us at the last minute to bring our painting gear - sounded like a great idea! My friend, K, had bought 3 small canvases for my boys & her little guy & set them up outside on the grass in the sunshine.
I quickly became obsessed with how beautiful the paint looked on the palette as it all started to get mixed together with messy brushes.. I'm a bit like that!... I took about a million macro photos... until I got a bit too close to a 2-year-olds paintbrush & got my camera totally gooped! It was worth it (even if my lens cover still won't work ;)

Just found your blog from someone else's blog, and I'm glad I did! Love it! :)

Hi Kari!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to visit :)
Yesterday I stopped at the park where I used to paint outside when I was in college. I was a great little stop on my trip...my only regret is I didn't bring my paint with me!
ReplyDeleteWow is that on boxed canvas? Nice! Where will you hang it?
ReplyDeleteHi Girl Japan :)
ReplyDeleteHug's painting is on the wall above our reading area & Lovely's is on the bookshelf in their bedroom.
To be completely honest they turned out rather murky! Only because they did so many layers & so much colour mixing!! If only I could have whisked them away after the first 5 minutes - they were awesome... 20 minutes later - not so much ;)
Sometimes you have to remind yourself that it's all about the *process* not the end result & they certainly were into it.
