Painting with the Geezer

While Nicole was here, she got to spend some great time with her dad, they spent it creating (throwing paint) and creating art.  You start by soaking the canvas with water and then adding/flinging acrylic paint in different manners on the canvas.  Our driveway is covered with a huge tarp to help contain the mess, the process is messy but the pictures turn out great.  You can keep them the way that they are, or you can then add more paint in a different manner on top on the finished product.  This is the process that Mark used on his LA Temple picture for the background.  Every one sure does turn out different.Here is Nicole's first painting project.  
I sure do love my painting/artsy family.

i loved it. i loved spending time with dad. i loved gettin' all messy. i loved seeing how it all works. i loved that you just go - without a plan. i loved how it turned out. and am excited to see the next phase (after dad adds some electric blue). i loved it.
