The Girl and the Pink House







This is my newest painting. I stretched regular canvas onto an embroidery hoop. It was alot of fun creating. You do need alot of layers of clear gesso and "Canvas tite". It was so different than using a ordinary canvas. Sometimes you just HAVE to be different. I was really tired of painting on the same ol', same ol'.

I love the scene that i've painted. I like to paint scenes of thing's that I want to do, or be, or see. My dream is to buy a bright pink house, and have a bright red door. And I know that I will have that someday. I will live in my dream-like-land. It's not happening today, but it will.

I want to live a fabulous life everyday. I want everyday to matter. You know you only get a certain amount of time on earth, and after that you're dead. And if you believe like I do, you won't be on earth. You'll be in heaven, and in heaven you don't need earthly things... which is why you need to make your life matter.

If you make art with an embroidery hoop i'd love to see it!
