Body Paint

Every now and then, doing some maintenance

on my computer is imperative.

and i happened to run across a suggestion

(from a friend i haven't seen in a long while)

about painting body parts,

using my body as a canvas

given the extra time on my hands today

i thought i would give it a try.

Hope you appreciate it, my friend :)

Hippie Fence

 Here in the Valley of the Sun

concrete block walls are

what many houses have.

My house is no different.

two of my back fence walls

are the same color, this third

wall was a dreary grey and

doesn't match the 'desert tan'

of the other two.  So I

brainstormed, and decided

to paint the fence with stripes

for a festive look!

With my girls coming for

a visit next weekend,

I wanted to have it finished,

so here I am, 6am and getting

the last few stripes painted....


While the photos themselves

aren't really artsy, I decided

to share them anyhow :)

Fingerpaint!

Some might consider me...

...a little crazy

Some might consider me...

...a little unique

That's neither here...

...nor there!

Sometimes I get 

crazy ideas

in my head 

and I think, Wow!  

I wonder how that would look?

The other day, I found

fingerpaints at the store, 

and remembered 

being young,

slathering all those colors 

on slick paper, 

fingers all wet 

and messy,

watching how 

the colors all 

blended together 

in unique ways. 

As with all ideas, 

some are good, 

some aren't so good, 

but you have to try!

Want to 

fingerpaint 

with me?
