I Think I Can Paint

The boys left for camp yesterday morning and I was left alone to paint.  I gathered all my supplies and set up the table to begin painting.  I also turned on some music. 

Sidenote: Do you listen to music when you are crafting/creating something?  Maybe even cleaning.  I love to, but mostly when I am home alone.  Yesterday I was in the mood for modern country.  Certain songs pull me away from my creations and lead me to grab a wooden spoon (for my mic) and belt it out.....Tim McGraw-Highway Don't Care w/Taylor Swift and Keith Urban.    

Anyway back to my alone time painting.......I had a vision and I had the lines all drawn out in my head.

I used an old crude piece of wood with holes in it.  Maybe it really is not wood, but for this I didn't want to experiment with anything nicer.  I picked five colors in my paint stash and I started on my master piece.

I had no idea what I was doing, but I was trying.  I was creating something I had thought up all by myself and it felt good.

I have had these lines in my head for close to 30 years.  These lines were something I would doodle on paper in class while in school.  Now on a blank canvas I was taking those lines and adding color. 

Each color I added I liked it more and more.  While the boys were off at their Grow Camp I was having my own little fine arts camp at home. 

I think I can paint!.......well sorta.

It was FUN and most enjoyable to be able to try something new without any interruptions.  And here is the finished piece.

I absolutely love the colors!  Come back tomorrow and I'll share where I put my abstract art......on that boring wall that was in dire need of color.
