I remember my mom buying me a Bob Ross book that I worked along side on my parents back porch. I painted for hours out there in the summer with the easel and paints that my parents also had bought me. I couldn’t get enough of the different techniques and styles of the brushes and how they effected the paint application. (getting a little nerdy over here…) I still use my painting and drawing skills on my pots all of the time. This is how I add the fun into the functional and the pretty into the practical in my current work. On the right you can see one of my first paintings circa 2010 from my summer days spent on the back porch painting.
I am so excited to get started on this mural. My paint brushes have been pulled out, the paint has been ordered, and the spot has been power washed! It seems so small, but it is very exciting to me that I get to leave even a tiny mark on the town that I have lived in for the past 5 years.
