ohhh myyyy....who knew

Wow!......I touched paint for the first time since primary grades.........It was SOOOO much fun. I didn't know it could be....really...I didn't! I even had someone say to me "what???...you don't own any paint?" and I responded "what for?"....lol............and......the reason I never did was...
          my oldest sister did beautiful water colors........
              my brother drew....
                  my younger sister drew charcol drawings....that were fantastic...
                      and there was me.........hummmmm...
so I took the route of quilting....and loved working with fabric...(all the colors.. since I was 5)...but I wasn't creative....in fact I found it very constricting to try and make things perfect....(I'm just kind of a hit and miss person...even play the paino that way...)
                        ...then I went into the paper mode.....love, love, love paper...making little books, tearing it, staining it...wadding it up....etc...so creative....so now..........
     with all the art journaling........it's on to new territory........after reading all the art journal blogs, buying supplies....it was time to start...........and these two pictures just came of out me.....who knew????

I actually got scared...........it's soooo hard for me to "take the plunge" on something new. I had to stop and put everything away cause I wasn't sure what to do next...AND I didn't have anyother colors...........the second page started as dripping paint...thanks to Journal Artista for that...I love her stuff.........so..........shopping this weekend for more paint....and on to the "great adventure"!
