Forget that it’s summer now as the weather has been atrocious. I had the kids with me last week when we went out and about to get some cheapie new curtains for the lounge I am decorating. Ok, the curtains didn’t end up as cheap as I was hoping to get them, but they’re certainly a bargain compared to the old faded drapes they are replacing.
Popping in to the Staples at Berryden, which is pretty close by, we really just went for a browse. We came out with a basket full of cheap goodies and new school bags for August. The kids were most excited about their find of some cheap artists canvas boxes, and the prospect of painting with acrylics.
A whole afternoon was spent dabbing, dotting and drawing and my kids were engrossed until their canvas masterpieces were finished.
Middler wasn’t interested so I tried my best to get some sort of semblance of some kind of abstract flower. Am completely ok with how amateur it is, but we all had a fabulous afternoon and are now eagerly awaiting some more blank canvases arriving from Amazon.
The kids bedrooms will be full of their own pictures soon. We’re planning on possibly painting a larger canvas sheet with dots and dabs to match the new lounge when I eventually get it completely finished. It’s a tempting blank canvas at the moment.
I half wish I knew someone who was a street artist to do something fancy, but you can’t win them all can you.
