We recently visited a circus - with huge tent, canon, clowns, acrobats
and all!
But what I couldn't get my eyes off was the weathered
bleachers we sat on. They were beautiful! Glossy red with bright yellow peeking through scratches. They were close to 60 years old, have seen most of America and once were the same bleachers used in the Barney Circus.
So I
mustered all my bravery and asked if they have any extras laying around... which they did! I'll never forget my husband's face as I came out of the circus tent carrying my bag, some popcorn and 3 bleachers to our car.
This elephant is the first image that popped into my head.
Hope you all have a fabulous week :)
Linking to Paint Party Friday.
Oh
it is true that the earth is laughing lately with flowers! They are
everywhere!
Etian keeps popping dandelion flowers in my pockets, Semay
literally picked ALL...and I mean ALL my tulips in one swoop and brought
it proudly to me behind her back. 
It
might just be my favourite week where no matter where you look a
blossom popped open where only two weeks ago all branches were bare.
This week at Inspiration Avenue the theme is "Sad girl with flowers in her hair". I can't imagine being sad if I had flowers in my hair, but I did find this painting I did a while back and she actually does look sad.
Much like the blossoms she appeared out of nowhere. I was planning to paint over an old abstract I didn't like, wanting just a white canvas to start again. But then a dress started to appear and soon my trusty skewer came out and I scratched the face and flower.
I'm also submitting it to Paint Party Friday - to see some amazing artists hop on over to these sights.
Have a wonderful week everyone!
