I'm really hoping that after the move is out of the way and the baby continues on his path of new found independence that I will be able to start painting again! I love to paint and draw but I go through creative spurts followed by long lengths of time in between where I don't even touch a pencil or paintbrush. I haven't painted or drawn since I was pregnant and I created the murals for the baby's room. (Although taking on such a large project while pregnant really burned me out there for awhile!)
Anyway... here's hoping!

Haha, yeah I didn't want to buy a nursery set in a store so we created our own. It's all based off of the story of Peter Pan so the bedding is all nature themed and then I painted scenes from the story (the nursery scene where they learn to fly, them flying to Neverland, and then Neverland itself, as well as "Sebastian" written in the middle of a forest setting.) They turned out pretty good I think (I'm my own worst critic) especiallygiven the fact that I was really burned out towards the end of the project as well as it was technically the first oil paintings I ever completed. (I normally use acrylic.)

You'll have to teach me to paint! I've always wanted to learn but I am just not experienced enough at it.

Did you take any pictures? That sounds really neat. THe most creative thing I have done is to "help" paint a toilet.

I don't know how much I could "teach" you but it would be fun to paint together! I used to do that with a few friends and it was awesome to be so creative with others. Again, I wasn't ever formally educated with anything in the artistic realm so I just do what looks good to me and what I like. That's what's important, right?! I have pictures of the room overall with the paintings on the walls but not of them individually... When I have more time I'll try and post them!

Thanks! They didn't turn out exactly like I had imagined them, but working with oil paints is SOOOO much different than acrylic and these technically were my first oil paintings I had ever done. So not too shabby for being inexperienced and very pregnant and losing patience, haha!
