Just a jar

It stormed here today.

Like black scary clouds and whistling howls kinda stormy.

I wanted to crawl up in my comfy bed but I didn't.

I painted the storm away...I did!

I have been crushing on these blue ball jars like forever.

So why not paint one for that skinny wall then why don't cha?

So I did.

I painted this using acrylics but look closer..

It almost looks like colored pencil.

You think?

I'm thinking when I sanded it to give that aged look, the magic happened!

I was kinda diggin' it.

Come closer if you dare...

At first I thought, who am I fooling?

You only paint letters and that's your safe space, remember?

If you paint pictures, they will find you out!

You artist impostor You.

Then I took a deep breath.

And  Maddy came home from school and went straight to it.

She liked it. She liked it!

So then I got all kinda brave and thought I would share it with y'all.

The sun has returned and I'm back to painting letters.

My safe happy place.
