I’m an “Ar-teest”!
You know, I really don’t have the time in my day to be taking on non-essential projects but I’m a bit of a masochist. (I’m actually typing one-handed right now because I’m propping up a nursing baby with the other.)
Em’s crib is much shorter than the one Rosco had, so the wall behind it looks really naked. Scott thought “something” needed to go there, and I, in my copious free time, thought about what “something” could possibly be. I thought about using wood letters to spell out Em’s name (the nickname, not the “shouting name”* I think). I was pretty “eh” about that, so instead I thought about getting some sort of art print.
Problem there would be finding something that matches the paint and that doesn’t introduce a theme we’re not particularly interested in (no princesses or such like that). Then we’d have to frame it. Good frames are expensive, and I really don’t want to buy something like that to match a room she’ll only be in until 3-bedroom ranch houses are in hot demand in Durham and we can move.
So. I decided to make something to put there. Like I said: masochist.
Not done yet, but basically it’ll be four small canvases (two pink, two green) with a unified theme. Art by yours truly.
I’ll be back with photos when they’re up.
*Shouting name: A child’s full, legal name that you only use when you’re shouting out for/at them.
