I started this blog to share art projects I’m working on. I’m currently participating in 50-50-50 art challenge and exhibition. You can read a description of this on the left column.

The theme I chose for this series of paintings is “Timeless Childhood Memories”. I picked this subject matter for a number of reasons. I believe children are very creative and they can find enjoyment in the simplest activities. I wanted to showcase that concept. I also thought it would be fun to challenge myself to come up with a unique idea each day that fits this theme. I’m trying to come up with ideas that a wide variety of people can relate to and that are not tied to a specific time period, but could come from anyone’s childhood regardless of age or background. My hope is to touch people’s hearts and remind them of fond memories from their own childhood.

This painting is called “Playing in the Tub”. When I was little, I loved to play in the bathtub. At the time, I didn’t think the main purpose of taking a bath was getting clean, but instead time to play in the water with toys and bubbles. I’m very happy with the way this painting turned, especially the bubbles. I added some pumice gel for dimension and iridescent pearl for a shimmery quality.
