Where to begin? First, it is the day for our Girls Just Wanna Paint Challenge - and this month's topic is "Twisted". Honestly. I tried a big painting of glorious skeins of pink, orange and glittery yarn (what was I thinking?), a raspberry twisted danish (I actually threw this one across the room), and then, today, the LAST day to paint it, I stopped at 3 donut shops. Why doesn't anyone twist cruellers any more? They're made by machine now, FYI and the dough is plopped out. Well, I finally, after all those shops found THREE kinds of twisted donuts at Ma's Donuts in Middletown, RI. Check out the outstanding paintings from this Challenge HERE.
Well, something happened on the way home.... it's hot here, a little bitty heat wave. And I was driving by a little grocery store and I thought "My husband would probably love an ice cold martini when he gets home tonight - WAIT!!!!!" That's as far as I got with the ACTUAL martini, but all I could think of was painting one with a 'twist'. There you go... sometimes you just have to let your natural inclinations bubble to the top. And here, all this time, I thought I was a slave to donuts. :)
*rabbit*rabbit*rabbit* (good luck this coming month)
ANNNNNND, one last thing. This is shaping up to be a really busy month for my day job, so what did I do? I signed up to do Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 days. Crazy, huh? Haven't settled on a topic and am going to give myself a week to settle in. Shelter dogs/cats? Things that refresh? My favorite things? We'll see. Hey, thanks for sticking around. It means more than you can know.
Fun painting and cute story.
