So I’ve been painting. And painting. And painting. But not paintings, we’ve been painting the place we moved into a month ago. It was white through and through, so we gave ourselves a little time to live in it before deciding on a color. We chose a warm gray-brown by Seaside Retreats called Moonlight Beach. The color is very much like wet sand, and we painted the living room, kitchen, and hall since they are all connected. Boy howdy that was a project. Add textured walls and painting over semi gloss and you’ve got a whale of a good time. Aside from a few touch ups we are finally done! We’re excited to have the paint down because that means we get to start shopping for some art, since we’re tired of everything we had at the old place.
By the way, I think today is the last day (or close to it) to purchase one of my Saint paintings at Bluebottle Art in Seattle. This one is my absolute favorite of the series and no one has purchased it yet:
“Saint Dorothy” Patron Saint of brides and florists
I also have paintings up at the Paperdoll in Bellingham until June 7 (check out that store anyway, good stuff).
And I have a box of four paintings back from an art show in Florida to add to the site. I haven’t even opened it yet but am hoping to photograph them this weekend.
P.S.
I did manage to add this Encouraging Word painting to the site prior to the wall painting extravaganza:
“Quiet”
