The fruits of cold weather...

Today was cold. And I mean COLD: 8F with a real feel of -13F. That's the coldest weather I've been in my entire life. I'm not used to it. The house is not used to it (all the windows are frosted). The city is not used to it (everything is closed and everybody is at their homes). So what would a girl like me do when it's cold? Yes, you guessed: Paint!



So I've been painting and my daughter was watching TV... until I realized she had had too much of it and I asked her to join me... and she taught me this fun technique with marbles... aren't children just natural artist? I love the composition an how she used the color here:


Oh and I'm almost done taking pictures of the paintings, in the meanwhile, here's a sneak peek of the fruits of my hard work (or a fun painting afternoon):


Now I'm off to bed to watch some TV myself... a good movie in a warm bed is all I need right now! Good night!

I wanted to tell you I got the Metamorphisis necklace and absolutely adore it. I love your style and have been working on a few mixed media ideas myself, but of course nothing as amazing as yours. My daughter told us last week she wants to be an artist, how cool is that! I wish I was as talented as you so I could teach her a few things. thank you for the very symbolic necklace, it means alot to me as well!

Oh! I loved that your daughter used marbles to paint designs with... that sounds like so much fun!
Children are so whimiscally impulsive, with spontaneous abandon.
Thank you for sharing what you have been painting. My sister is in Massachusetts...Rebecca's Rainbow Kisses blog and they have 3 1/2 feet of snow all over the city. It was very cold there too. I'm in sunny California with 64 degrees today with no rain on the horizon for a while...we're spoiled here. I'm just glad most people stayed safe with half the country having blizzards.
Cheers!
