One of my New Years Resolutions was to paint more because I used to paint all the time. So, for the last three months I have been doing a lot of abstract painting - extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas - I just think about it a lot...haha. Abstract, indeed! Finally, today I pulled out my kit and a practice canvas board and just painted. It was really nice. Russell was napping and I had to be quick so I didn't plan or do any rough sketches first - I just let my hand do whatever it wanted to do. I did not expect to create any grand masterpiece, and I definitely didn't, but it was relaxing to reconnect with an old hobby - like reuniting with a childhood friend. I'm already starting to think about what I'll do next. Russell, expect to be ignored in the very near future.

Lovely work Jane! Let me know if you do want to take a trip to the zoo. We have an annual guest pass so if you endure our company then you and Russ can get in free :)
ReplyDeleteJane, so great to find you cousin!!! It has been a long time. I wish I could go to Calgary for the reunion this summer but will be having my baby about 2 weeks after the reunion. Come over and check out my blog. You have a beautiful family. I can't believe how grown up you are. =>
ReplyDeleteJane and Ken, you both rock my world. It seems it is a "tie" because now you paint Jane (quite well I might add) and Ken has the talent of charictures/portaiture.
