An abstract kind of day

 The other day I challenged myself to have a little fun without having a plan.  I'm pretty sure that is the best way to describe abstract.  It was so much fun!  There were times I'd try to stop and think about what I was doing and I'd push myself to stop and just do.  I also found myself closing my eyes at times too.  It was so much fun!




I used painters tape to tape down two small pieces of canvas paper to my work space and then I chose a few colors of paint and brushes, sponges, and palette knife and then I went for it!


I love how both pictures turned out!


I sat there turning each one in different directions to see what I could see each time I did that and it was fun and hard to decide which way I liked them the most!

I plan on either putting them in a matted frame or just a simple frame.

I think on the days I want to paint but not sure what I want to do I will do this again, it allows me to still be creative and get painting out of my system in that moment.  Plus it's a mystery on what I create!

The post was located in a box canyon near Limpia Creek on the eastern side of the Davis Mountains--where wood, water, and grass were plentiful. From 1854 to 1861 , troops of the Eighth Infantry spent much of their time in the field pursuing Comanches, Kiowas, an

 I work at the best place! I can hand my paintings in a room for all to see here at work.  In return starting this summer I will teach a painting class.  I am very excited for the opportunity, a little nervous but mostly excited!  I have an amazing co-worker/best friend that I also share the wall with and will be teaching painting classes as well.  I will keep you all in the loop of when the classes start and if you are local and would like to join that would be awesome!
