What? Doesn’t everybody keep half done paintings in their kitchen next to the dirty dishes? No? Oh, okay. Well, this one is here because I had to quick put it up somewhere before Baby Bug woke up from her nap and decided it would be really fun to stick her fingers in the wet sticky paint.
She wants to paint like me so bad. I don’t blame her. Painting is fun and even more fun if someone is constantly telling you that you can’t. One of these days I think I’ll coral her on the patio, cover everything with plastic and let her go crazy on the back of one of my canvasses. Who knows, a Baby Bug hand print might add value.
The big paintings have this really awful logo on the back of them because they used to be hotel art that my friend bought for me from Ross and I painted over them. On the back, next to the $199 price sticker marked down to $4.99, they say something like “hand painted by Michael McEightiesGuy”. I’m thinking I need to paint over that with something cute like a giant dog head or maybe some hand prints a la Baby Bug.

I like the BB idea, way more fun!

Oh that sounds so cute! But why the back? Why not the front of one before you start just in case you love it and want to keep it?

I love that surfer dog! It would go perfectly in J’s room, colours, theme and all.
I would definatley cover up the McEighties guy thing, whether with a BB hand print or a sticker of your own, just cover it :).

I love seeing these paintings in progress…as a non-painter it’s really interesting to see all the stages!

That is hilarious about the sale sticker. And you should let Baby Bug go at it. I bet she’d come up with some cool stuff.

No, I don’t keep half painted pictures in the kitchen, but I do keep half finished quilts in the dining room!
