Saturday night: "We don't club, we paint."

Saturday night Kim and I had the urge to be artistic.  We went to our local craft store, bought large white canvas and used acrylic paint to create our master pieces.  Ok, so we aren't art majors, or extremely talented.... but all we wanted to do was express our creativity... and it worked.  If your searching for an outlet, or some type of therapy that doesn't involve a crap load of money, paint.
It doesn't matter if your Monet or not....

emotion +canvas+paint+brush = a beautiful piece of art.







There was paint everywhere.  We said "dammit" a lot..... but laughed even more.
Our mistakes made our pictures what they were supposed to be.
Her side is so her, and my side is so me.
So different, yet somehow they fit together perfectly.

It's messy and not perfect at all, yet in a way to me it is breathtaking. Kind of like life ... right?

  2. I LOVE this!! You're both so talented! I was just talking to a friend about how I'd like to get back into art... the only thing that stops me is that I have NO idea what I'd need. Could you post what materials I'd need to do something like this?

  3. I sorta hate you right now. :P That is AWESOME!!! I consider myself artist, especially with a pen. But I pick up a paint brush and you'd seriously think a five year old painted the picture.

    What you made is breathtaking and charming and whimsical. If you sold that on Etsy, or anywhere, I would SO buy a print.

  10. I'm useless with a paintbrush, though I'm still intriguied by trying anyways, making a mess and having a finished product. Yours is quite pretty. :)

    I also like the picture of you covered in paint. Just makes it look that much more fun.
