It's Monday, so that means I get to hang out with Emmett. We started our Monday shenanigans by doing a little art, er, BIG art. I had tossed down a large piece of gessoed canvas to catch drips and drops of paint as I've been working on several messy projects at once. There was an area that was as white as white can be, so, Emmett and I decided we would do an outline of him and Emmett could then color himself. Here we go . . .
When he was done, I asked what he had to say about his art. "I like orange," was his reply. Okay, I like orange, too!
After all that art-makin', it was time to walk over to Bush Park for some playtime. We invited Howard to join us.
I am a woman trying to navigate being 50-something, to not dwell too much on getting older, and reminding myself constantly to live in the moment. I am a woman who loves books, reading, and used bookstores (especially Powell's in downtown Portland). I am a woman who is discovering art after years of raising kids, working, and going to school. I am a woman who loves collage, painting, mixed media, and assemblage. I am a woman who loves gunkholing in junk stores and picking trash up off the street just for the thrill of its possibilities. I am a woman who has a mantra to BE BOLD.
