Getting all artsy-fartsy

Last January, one of my goals for the year was to create a painting, any kind of painting. And I did it – WOOT! Do you remember the OMFG Painting? In spite of the exploding paint disaster, I finished the painting and had so much fun doing it, I painted a bunch more.

Those abstract paintings were fun to do. But even more fun is creating foil paintings. After taking a workshop taught by Susan Bailie of Art Walls last November, I’ve literally become a painting fiend! Since the Christmas holidays, I’ve created over 20 foil paintings. I’ve been having a blast trying out different colour combinations and styles and techniques.

Right now, all the foil paintings are sitting on the mantel in the family room. Not sure what’s going to happen with them, but right now I’m enjoying all the colour and sparkle :-)

And on a totally different note, our third foster puppy Myles has found his new forever home :-) He was adopted by a family an hour outside of Ottawa. I’m sure the little guy is going to be very spoiled and loved :-) Have fun Myles! ♥
