So, two weekends ago I ended up deciding to treat myself to a little “artist date” as per the suggestions of The Artist’s Way and I ended up going to TJ Maxx and Marshalls and buying myself a bunch of on sale scrapbooking supplies and paints with the hope that maybe someday I’d actually do something with them.

I ended up taking the day off today because James is working tomorrow and I wanted to spend some time with my sweetie, and while he was busy cleaning the living room I ended up deciding that I was going to give the watercolors a try. This is what I came up with.

I outlined lightly in pencil what I wanted it to look like, and then hit it with the water colors. It’s not perfect, but I don’t think it’s bad for someone who hasn’t touched watercolors since she was 12!
