When I turned 30 I invited friends and family to paint with me in a sip and paint inspired set up. I had canvases and people were free to paint what they wanted. However, I learned that most people need some sort of guidance–a direction to walk before they can run.
This week I took one of my mom’s abandoned paintings from my paint night two years ago and tried to finish it. I’m not sure it is 100% finished, but I am happy with where this painting led me. It was a fun experience to use someone else’s painting as my guide. My painting went through some stages for sure.
I had picked out a new tube of paint recently, and it was acidic looking. I think it will be fun to experiment with, but in this application it might give Bob Ross some afterlife nightmares.
This week I went thrifting with the hope of finding E.L. James book Fifty Shades Freed…but I came home with many things–but not that book. I tried shrugging it off as no big deal–but then I was reading the preview on kindle…I’ll need to get a copy soon I guess.
My husband recommended I try a novel a friend of his published on amazon. So I shrugged my shoulders, and he pulled up her amazon page. I read the first chapter, and decided to give it a go, after all it was only $1.27CDN.
I was up until nearly three in the morning, and then was reading it for hours at a time the next day. I love books that make me feel, and E.A. Shanniak did not disappoint. Her world is rich, and the characters are endearing.
I have started book two, which delves into the lives of other characters in her world–and it promises to be just as good as her first novel “Jordie in Charge”.
