Every Sunday is Art Day at our house. My sister Shannon and I are both taking The Year of the Spark with Carla Sonheim & Lynn Whipple. This week we continued working on a lesson from Carla that we started last week. Using gesso, we had painted a simple, textured piece on wood board. This week, we added colour!

Of course, the glitter bombed animals looked on, some wondering when they would get a second coat.

With this project, we had layers of paint that needed drying and so we took a break out in the garden and discovered: green!!!

The netting I put down to protect the spring bulbs seems to have worked.

Or maybe it was the garden guardian that did the trick.

Either way, when I returned to my piece, I was definitely feeling the love!
