cheap art

We had a blank spot on the wall above our piano downstairs.  The budget was tight for some artwork and I wanted something creative that the kids could enjoy.  We spend a lot of time in this spot practicing our violins so I wanted something HAPPY and CHEERFUL (because we all know that violin practicing is ALWAYS about cheerfulness…yeah right!)

2 packs of 11×14 canvases from Michaels for $7.99.   An assortment of acrylic paints in our craft bucket.  A few hours of good, dirty fun at the kitchen table.  VIOLA!

P.S.  Dear Little Man,  I’m sorry I didn’t get a picture of you creating your masterpiece.  But I was already feeling like “octopus woman” trying to contain your painting enthusiasm (read: paint flinging) and didn’t think throwing my camera into the mix was a wise idea.  Next time, buddy.
