Starry Night Wannabe

Hey there!

Magoo was gone for a couple hours this afternoon, and I thought to myself, "Self, now is a great time to do something with that gigantic canvas down in the basement that no one has touched since it was put down there six years ago!" So do something, I did!

Van Gogh is one of my all-time favorite artists- I love, love, love his style- so I decided to try to replicate Starry Night for the living room wall in my brand new apartment. (Yes, I've got the keys- WAHOO!!!) 

So, like I was saying, Van Gogh. An hour and a half later, this is what I had.

I need/want to add more white and yellow to the sky, and I plan to add the little silhouetted town, as well, but this is it for now. It's currently a gigantic gooey mess laying up high in my bedroom so no toddlers or puppies or mamas accidentally or deliberately get their fingers or tails into the paint.

It was a lot of fun, but I'm kind of sad that the canvas isn't empty anymore! I want to paint it again! ;)

I'll post a picture when I get the canvas hung where it belongs! It might be a few weeks before everything is totally dry though. Anyway, there's my fun activity for the day!
