Abstract Art

So we moved over the past few weeks, Labor Day weekend was the final push and the first time we slept in our new little abode. WE LOVE IT! I'll post more about that in the next few weeks, but for now, I'm going to share with you my new favorite hobby which I have negative time for, painting. With all the other things I should be doing, like working on Pure Joy Paperie, putting things away, my biggest concern has been the art for the walls and I decided to literally take things into my own hands and get to work. I want our home to full of color so I went to Michaels, bought myself some paint brushes, canvases and acrylic paint, put little B to bed for the night and started on my blank canvas.

My first little pieces came out cute, and I love the way they look in our family room. I think we're going to end up mounting that TV but the prints will probably stay right where they are.

It's such a fun little activity and a MAJOR stress reliever for me. With the move and the business and the very active baby, this mama needed to get it out and I find painting to be such a lovely way to do so. Anyone can paint, and it doesn't have to be hard. Literally just mix colors and put them on the canvas and have fun with it.
