Horsing around with simple brushstrokes


I never know when to stop. I enjoy painting and just keep going until I get tired, run out of space or sell the thing I'm working on.


 Even this was pretty "busy" but I just kept going.


I thought sure I'd ruined it when I began adding the black but it settled in to the rest of the design when I added the white dots over it so I guess that was alright.


As long as I had the black paint out I thought I'd take the idea a step further and I'm not sure what I think of that so I'll put away my brushes for the night and take a fresh look at it in the morning.


Regardless of what becomes of these it just feels good to be painting again. I have no idea what I'll be working on next but it feels good to have studio space set up in the dining room so that it will be handy whenever I'm ready for any serious painting as well as days when I do things like this.

A bright, sunny morning

I'm always happier on a sunny day and find it often influences the sort of projects I choose to work on. This morning I find myself painting sunflowers on one of the wooden horses I've been carving and sanding. I'm looking forward to planting some real sunflowers soon but until then, this will have to do.

I'm also sorting and rearranging my work space so that I'll have room for company in the studio from time to time so that we can film a few projects.

The Second Easter Dala Horse Design


The beauty of this design is that it's basically lines and dots so almost anyone would be able to do it
