Spring Break

Once again this year summer teases us with little hint of freedom. I have promised myself that I will not waste away my little taste or serenity. So I got started right away and went to the library. I got four books on acrylic and oil painting and a book I have been meaning to read since I got back from my mission trip to Chicago this summer, There Are No Children Here. My next stop was the ever so faithful, except for on Sundays, Hobby Lobby. Acrylic paint, oil paint, brushes and brush cleaner. I felt like such a novice not knowing what brands to buy while trying not to spend too much money. It all turned out well, I made it home and through one of the books on painting with acrylic and finally jumped hesitantly into this unfamiliar medium.
