It started in 2010 when I picked up a plastic palette knife, canvas board, paint brush and paints at my sister's place in Thunder Bay. I'd been wanting to try painting for a couple of years but was too afraid to sink any money into. Thanks to my brave sister, I have a new hobby and will never look back.
I started a Facebook page called Paint It Beautiful. The idea being to focus on my painting with the hopes of selling some of them. I like to post suggestions and ideas relevant to other parts of my life other than just painting. One day my sister suggested I start a blog... I have another blog I started many months ago before my son turned 1 year called My Cheerios. It is reflections of life and always trying to find the good in the bad. I also want to have a record of those awe inspiring moments and what I thought and felt during these early years of being married and being a mom.
This blog will be more encompassing. This will have a focus on art and seeing the beauty in everything. Some things may double up between this blog and my Facebook page. Themes may also be shared between this blog and "My Cheerios" as many things in life relate to each other. I will try to keep things unique to each space, or tackle a specific view point in each to keep things interesting. My Cheerios will definitely always strive to be positive and uplifting while this blog will delve into both bright and darker feelings.
So you are welcome to join me on my journey and I invite you to have conversations with me and with others about what ever moves you.
