Sometimes I see paintings or posters in a store and think,"That would be really cute on my wall....oh, yikes....it's really expensive!"
Now I am not even talking about art commissioned by a reputable artist...just from a local store like Home Goods....it's still pretty pricy to fill your walls with stuff. And filling your walls with stuff is what makes your house a home! It allows you to show your personality and style and makes you feel happy, right?
I would challenge you to take a shot at being your own artist! If you see something that you think is pretty, stop at the local art store and pick up an inexpensive canvas.... a few colors
of craft paint and some brushes....and create your own interpretation of what you saw in the store. As we teach our preschoolers, there is no wrong answer when it comes to creating art. If you love it, then it is art! If you made it, then it is art!
I have done a few paintings for my mama over the years...replicas (well, kind of) of things we saw in shops that were kind of cool but way too expensive:
Just go for it! You may surprise yourself with the final product...or at least have fun trying:)
