You Never Know!

I went out last weekend and bought some art supplies. A couple of canvases, acrylic paints, brushes, glaze, and a painting knife.

I have NEVER painted before in my life. I am not what some would consider being artistic. I think that I am crafty and can decorate just about anything. But paint? I've never tried. But I have the overwhelming desire to do it! My family kind of laughed and said, "But you don't know how to paint". My reply was, "How do I know if I never tried?"

I am waiting for the perfect opportunity to take out my supplies and just do it. I have a vision of a cold or snowy day. I think that's when I'll attempt to make some art. I love colors, textures and shadows. Honestly? I could look at shadows all day long. I know that sounds strange. But there is something that fascinates me about them. It's as if it's an image that exists but cannot be touched. Sort of how I imagine God to be. I know he's there. I see him in his creations. He is the Sun, the sky, the trees, grass and flowers. But a shadow? It's so one dimensional and mysterious. I don't know. I just like them. Always have.

I wonder what I'll paint. I'm not planning on anything specific. Just totally random and abstract. I'll put paint on my brush. I'll use the colors that appeal to me the most that day. And I'll just start painting. Who knows. I could be the next Leonardo and just not know it yet!

ha ha. You never know!
