Being creative I have found has been key to my happiness monitor staying at a high enough level to remain civilized. My latest creative project were 2 owl paintings for my friend's baby girl's room. She is obsessed with cute lil owls and so purchased some owl bedding that had some pretty lame art work to go with it. So taking the bedding idea which was simple, stitching was shown throughout, and had lots of brown and pink, I decided to incorporate its theme but to also add some color to the room to go matchy matchy with toys and stuff that would also be decorating it soon. This is what I came up with:
I used acrylic, watercolor, paper, and material to create this and it was FUN!!
For kids rooms, art work needs to be lively, simple, basic and different textures help too. Kids do learn from their surroundings, having basic shapes and colors are fun for them and educational. This painting has a built in lesson when they grow older on nocturnal animals, like the owl. There you have it, my job is done. I feel so accomplished now ha ha, I am being sarcastic. At least I find time for painting again. Love painting!!
