Skipping through the First


Tell me it isn't so. Today, the 4th !!!!
i flipped my calendar over....where had  four days gone.  January can't just evaporate!!? i wasn't ready to leave January yet. Now it feels like half the year is over.


Did you feel this way?


Holding myself accountable, i thought where have i been: 
certainly not writing blogs....
certainly not cooking fab meals....
certainly not dusting or sweeping....
certainly not having a social life....


Now i remember: 
One night i woke up and had this desire to paint on canvas again...the ideas flooded my dead-to-the-world-head 
( of course i forget most of them by morning). When fully awake all i knew was that i needed to head for the easel. 


This is what i did February 1st:
i took my muffin tin of old acrylic paint out of the frig.  i should have charged it rent it had been hoggin' space for much too long.
Grabbing a piece of canvas i began scooping up huge gobs of color and spreading/smearing it all over the canvas.
Gosh this was fun! 
Adult Finger Painting 101




Here are a few of my canvases i smothered with paint with no thought to what i was doing.....bonus: no more paint in the frig.




It didn't take me four days to create this color-chaos....!!!  In a day or two i will share with you the transformation of "muffin tin paint" into hmmm, something quite different. Stay tuned.



Heart Thought: how many times do we really let go and do something crazy--like our kids or husband would look at us and really wonder? Give it a try. Sure puts a smile on the face.
     So here is to crazy-daisy moments: Sharon
