Crosssing off #10

August 14, 2009 by dailygnome 3 Comments

October is fast approaching and I realized if I am going to finish my list I may need a little help.

One sunny morning last week Carson and I gathered our supplies, spread out a drop cloth in the back yard and painted the big blank canvas that has hung in our stairwell for more than a year. Carson quickly took over as creative director on the project. Mix here! More yellow! I want splatters! He took the Jackson Pollock approach.

To give the painting dimension and texture we selected some of his school artwork, ripping it into pieces and pasting it onto the canvas.
