Back in December, I purchased a blank canvas and some
acrylic paints. I was going to create a masterpiece to bring a little color and
life to our apartment. Something about best intentions and life…you know how
that goes.
That canvas sat untouched in our bedroom out of sight for
almost six months. There were times I was going to pull it out and creatively
express myself, but I just never followed through. Then when I was ready, I
decided to take part in a Living Social Sippin’ and Paintin’ deal with Lynn. To say that
painting didn’t turn out as planned would be an understatement. Only for your
amusement do I share this picture with you.
For the life of me, I have no idea why Keith likes it or so
he claims. I think he’s just being a good husband when he says that. Because
lets be honest, it’s no Monet. (Not that the next one is, but I like it more.)
Moving on to the other night. I decided to give painting
another go of it. I had been looking at various pieces of work on Etsy, but
every piece I showed Keith for feedback was met with “You could do that and for
less.” Finally, I got the hint. He didn’t want to invest in art so I needed to
get off my bum. I now share my latest work with you.
I was in love with it at first, but now after staring at it
a bit more in the hallway I’m not so sure. Regardless, it does bring some color
to the space and helps to cover up the hideous gray breaker box. This more artist photo makes it look even better, so I'm liking it again.
Do you have a hobby that you enjoy? Is it something you’re
really good at or simply enjoy?
