The Beauty of Grey

I wanted to challenge myself to paint with grey.  Grey is a mysterious colour.  It looks void of colour and yet it is made up from a mix of bright blue, red, yellow and white.  If you have too much grey, it makes all other colours look muddy.  It is like a metaphor for life, too much grey can overshadow all the brights and joys in life.  Just a little grey or darkness, helps you appreciate the bright times in life.

painting birthday party

One of my friend's asked me to run a painting party for her 6 year old little girl.  I showed the kids how paint can be magical and change into other colours when mixed together.  They all had a turn painting on a mural and painting their own little canvases.  It was very rewarding when I was able to encourage a shy little boy to paint when all the others were out of the room.  He sat and painted a beautiful picture and was so proud to show everyone.  It was fun to see little creative minds at work. 

Smurf Cake

I haven't been able to paint in a while but Chris requested a smurf cake for his birthday. So I painted with icing and it was fun! 

Vision Board Session

I ran another vision board session a little while ago with a great group of people at the Eastside Yoga Studio.  Everyone came away with a creation to take home.
