Made myself a new abstract painting this week. There is something really meditative about painting on each layer, waiting to see what else it needs. Stepping back to evaluate the progress.
I didn't intend on having the painting match this wall in our dining room. In all actuality, I had planned on this painting to go in the sunroom. But when it was finished I realized it would be the perfect addition to the dining area. We aren't crazy about this dark color for the room. It's a rental, so working the color into our decorating helps it to be a bit more palatable.
Although I love finding pieces from artists to put up in the house, I find making some pieces of my own a great way to round out the collections on the wall without breaking the bank. Not to mention, that time I spend working on a painting really invigorates my mind. I begin thinking about all kinds of ideas for projects.
