oh how quaint, she learns to paint

Dear Audy,

My break from the city is winding down and whilst I'm looking forward to going home to my own bed, I'm definitely going to miss having space around me! I'm also a little concerned about where I'm going to get my trash fix without daily America's Next Top Model....sigh....I really have been living in the lap of luxury! Grin.

I touched up my puppy painting and decided not to give Vito a hat in the end. You see, Audy, it's my first painting and I'm kinda proud of how it came out so I don't want to go messing it up! I'll just paint him in a hat another day...What do you think?

For my next canvas (oh, check me out Audy, using artist talk) I'm painting a couple and a pretty dress. I copied the sketch from a photo in and Australian Ballet book. The photo is black and white but I am going to do the dress in colour...although I haven't quite decided which or how much colour. I scored myself some cheap but effective, wide, flat paintbrushes that made painting the background a lot easier. It definitely pays to have the right tools! I currently have a lovely black canvas...with a slightly smoky floor for them to dance on. I might get a chance to finish it off this afternoon...but I might also take my book to the park so the dancers might not be able to get their groove on until I go home to my home.

It's a beautiful day outside and I'm going to go make the most of it. Until next time, dear Audy, stay safe, stay happy....and watch out for wayward kites.

Love & Canvas,

Caf
