The Empty Wall

My daughter moved out last August. I have since been slowly transforming her room into a guestroom. Everyone who knows me well, gets that I’m a beachy kind of girl, so I’ve kind of gone with that on my redo. Except I have a bare wall that I feel needs to have something.

I’ve dabbled in photography and sifted through my pictures, but none really fit the look I was going for.  I prefer taking woodsy pics.

I wanted something more artsy. Like a canvas watercolor of seashells. Painting is not my area of expertise, but I purchased supplies anyway, ready to charge ahead. But I stopped before making any major mistakes.

I contacted my daughter-in-law, Astrid for help. She’s an awesome artist, and I knew she’d give me a heads up. I can paint okay, but I can’t draw.

Below is my Astrid painting.

She graciously offered to do the drawing part, and I get to paint with watercolors once she was done. Expect another blog with the end results.
