Sometimes when you've had a really stressful day at work and life gets kind of tough the best thing to do is just come home and paint. I love painting. I love not only the end result, but so much of the process of applying paint to a canvas and watching the brush strokes create a unique texture. I love the smell of paint and just getting myself into that creative world where I'm creating something that's never been done exactly that way before. I love that Adam bought me a canvas for Christmas. I love him for respecting this talent/interest of mine and supporting me in it. I just primed the canvas today with white paint (so hence it doesn't look like anything yet) but we decided to hang it on the wall anyway (partly because there's nowhere to store it and we want to protect it). But I find that I kind of love walking past a blank canvas on the wall and being inspired by all the things it could become. I love art.
AMEN! This is great because I can see you priming your canvas and being like "I HAVE to blog this moment!" Hence the photos of the white blankness and art tools. But I feel ya, I'm inspired as well. Now, the real question is-Does she not love that look enough to actually paint something eventually? Or will the canvas remain on that wall for years and you'll just explain how great it is to everyone?
ReplyDeleteI'm good with either.
I already feel inspired! So many possibilities. I love the blank canvas, blank script, blank pages.......it's just creativity waiting to happen! Lovin it.
