For the past three days, everything around here has been wrapped in plastic. And I mean everything... I don't know why I was thinking it wouldn't be, but it caught me by surprise. As usual, I wasn't organized ahead of time. It did force me to spend 3 days in my art room though. More cleaning up most of the time, but I did make this little canvas. Funny, when I was searching this book for quotes, I was thinking about the feeling the little one in the photo portrayed and picked the one above. After I finished stamping it I realized I was probably heavily influenced by the fact that I have been displaced in my own home for days.
Some of you have asked what color I chose. I really didn't put much thought into it, just pointed to a very neutral beige (Sandcastle by Dunn Edwards) when the painter showed me the interior paint sample book. After having stronger colors for so long in much of the house, I really wanted to go with a very neutral pallet throughout. It's ok. Had I tested it on some spots previously, I might have picked something with just a little more tan to it, but it's plenty good enough as is. I am loving how fresh and clean everything is, especially all the white woodwork. Here's how things look now in the upstairs hallway, downstairs and family room.
...except the plastic is down and I once again have computer access. Yeah!!! I realized that if I had a laptop, I could have been able to get emails and blog etc. this whole time. So, that's my art earnings goal: to earn a laptop. Going to go move some things back in place. Back to other creative pursuits tomorrow...
