Ok, so I'm cheating a little today. We were pretty busy and I had to go to the walk in clinic with the baby child until 9:00pm! Those walk in clinics...... Got home, put the boy to bed and couldn't muster up the energy to start a new art project. Here's my cop out.
I made this oil painting about a month ago. It's so liberating to sit down to a blank canvas, not knowing what to paint, and just slathering on the paint haphazardly. It's really quite therapeutic, and I highly recommend it for anyone needing to get anything off their chest, or struggling emotionally. It's important to have zero expectations for the end result though. You never know what you'll end up with, but it'll probably be two things: reflective of your current thoughts and feelings, and beautiful.
I absolutely love love love this. Someday I'm going to learn how to paint.
