the canvas i bought way way way back......
& i REALLY REALLY REALLY like it....
i did this for today's new word up over at onelittleword....NEW.....i kept thinking of how i always love to start over...the kids & i are always saying that when our day goes down the tubes...can we start over? let's start a new day right now....& i love that....the idea that i can start new....try again...put my mistakes & frustration & worries & bad attitude behind me & start new....try again....start fresh.....
a new day....so much possibility.....be sure to enjoy :)
& i learned a lot, from this my first one....next time i will add more paint...i had been afraid to glop it on & b/c i wanted the texture to show through, i didn't want to look too flat....but next time i want richer color in the end, so i will add some more of the paint...but still really like it....i think it actually brightened my day this morning :) & now kelly wants to do one....how cool is that!!! so we are off to the store to get some more canvas...
& if you ever want to see a girl who is a TOTAL MASTER w/ the brush & paint...go visit stacey....she is just AMAZING w/ a paint brush & also in general :) LOVE LOVE me some stacey :)
happy wednesday!!
