art for every season

when my dining room was painted (in december) i took everything off the walls & even had the holes "fixed".

i knew i wanted something behind the buffet, at the very least, but i hadn't decided on what.

soooooo - in the meantime - i had the brilliant idea to paint a ginormous (to me) canvas.

don't ask me what i was going to paint on it. puleeeeze don't ask me if i'm even an artist.

because, sadly, the answer is i had no idea what i was going to paint on it & no, I.AM.NOT.AN.ARTIST.

but what i am is is fearless (or crazy - take your pick)!

here's my christmas canvas:
yeah, i know, i didn't do any painting. i just tied a big bow & called it a package for the wall.

& when my daughter mentioned at the beginning of february that, though it was "lovely" i should probably take it down, i started thinking about what would take it's place. (oh-by the way, she JUST took down her christmas tree last weekend - definitely a case of the pot calling the kettle black or whatever)

i'm having a coffee for ladies in my church at my house on saturday morning. and then saturday afternoon, my daughter & i are having a cousins valentines party for my grandchildren & 2 of my great nieces & nephews. i started thinking a valentine themed something something might be the ticket for the canvas.

and so hearts it was to be:

& so it is.

hearts i can do, i'm not so sure about shamrocks for st. patrick's day, bunnies for easter, flags for flags day??????????????????????????? help.
