Beginnings...

I need a new blog. I need an art blog. This is BLANK. I have been using Live Journal for a couple of years now. It was outdated when I started the blog. It is ancient now. I almost preferred it's simplicity. But, here we go. As this is the beginning, please enjoy the painting below.

This painting is as simple as it gets. But it means a lot to me. I painted this out of necessity. I refused to buy a cheap print for the kitchen wall in our current house which we bought a little over a year ago. I went to the store, bought a canvas, and painted it with left over latex paint we had after painting the walls. There are no particularly redeeming qualities about it. But it definitely liberated me in many ways.

So this is your encouragement. Find a BLANK canvas. It doesn't have to be a literal canvas, just something you can paint on. Gather any old paint or markers or pencils you have lying around and make something. If you have never tried this before, or if this inspired you to try it again, then post a picture or a link here.
