Every now and again I am struck by the need to create a work of art using my keen eye and able hands. On those occasions I’m usually walking through a Michael’s craft store with a couple of extra bucks in my pocket and a good case of amnesia.
Because no matter how often I purchase paints, or pencils, sketchbooks, or canvases, I am totally incapable of drawing anything more complex than a primary yellow sun with a happy face and straight rays poking out all around.
Yet I conveniently forget this simple fact over and over again.
There is something about a blank piece of paper that fills me with the burning desire to create. All that’s missing is a bit of talent.
Here’s my newest purchase: 
Notice the beautiful sketchbook? Oh, the possibilities!
Notice the color pencils? They are not sharpened, and I have no sharpener at home.
So, for at least tonight the sketchbook is safe from my fumbling attempts at creating art. I think I just heard a papery sigh of relief.
Peace, people!

I love your happy face yellow sun! I did a post about bringing my brother home from the hospital after he was born and drew the pictures too! It was horrible to see those pictures but I had the bug. My brother said it made him cry. I don’t know if he was touched that the memory was so special to me or the pictures were so bad he had to cry, sigh! I am going to keep after it though because it was too fun!

For some reason I always think I’m going to create something worth hanging. So far they’ve just been worth dumping.

Ha! If you lived in Colorado I’d talk you into going to that paint and wine class. Have you heard of it? You drink wine while they teach you to paint. Sounds like a hoot to me!

Oh we would have such fun! My husband and I went to one of those places a couple of years ago. I drank wayyyy too much, but our painting turned out really nice. You just gave me a blog post idea!!! Thanks.
