oh what joy - a day to paint...

My brother was supposed to visit today,

but will come next week instead,

so the good news was that I was all caught up on all those pre-visit chores -

well at least some of them...

so

I spent the whole day painting!!!

If you are at all strange like me

(that's what makes you an artist)...

you like to look at messy art desks...

and supplies and stencils and wood doo dads

to attach to paintings, etc...

and half completed paintings.

This painting will be a winter white when completed.

I had fun using molding paste to make the

mirror frame in the painting...

and the dresser texture...

Silver leaf on the mirror comes next!

Can't wait for another free day to play...
