Life is a canvas....throw paint on it!

   

  I have started something NEW!! Painting on canvasses!! I saw a canvas at TJMAXX I really liked but thought ....I could do it better!!... so I bought some canvases and am totally inspired by a new creative outlet....I LOVE sayings and collect quotes....now I am illustrating them ...I am on fire!!


  Was so tickled we had snowy days as I got to stay home all warm and cozy with the woodstove & cookstove fired up and created ..music playing and Finnegan laying at my feet....paradise!!...I moved my paints down to the kitchen table in front of my french doors and windows so I could watch the snow & the birds as I was painting.......One of the canvasses I came up with...
