Sometimes I wonder if I have issues.

I suddenly had this urge to paint. Like, if I didn't do it, I'd explode. Problem is, I just don't have time. I can't paint with 2 cling-ons. And when they go down, I go to work. No time for painting.

But when I get to this point, I MUST PAINT.

Sue came and took Wolfgang for a few hours on Wednesday. She also left these paper cutouts from The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Now, I didn't end up with real paintings, but I did get a big canvas covered for my own future painting, and 7 others covered for some kid-art.

When I say I whipped these out, you have no idea!

I WHIPPED them out in a matter of hours. Like 3.

There is my future painting, standing alone amongst the buckets.

I squatted on the floor in my jammies for 3 hours cutting and pasting and writing with crayons.

I had to finish things up with both boys in the room.

There is only one (make that 2) ways this was possible:

#1

#2

Boy did he love making THAT mess!

I had a hard time laying them out, partly because I had to use canvases I bought from a garage sale with someone else's "art" on them. Odd sizes.

In the end I nailed them to the darn wall just to get them out of the way. They are basic and rigged, but Wolfgang likes them.

I absolutely hate hanging anything so high, but the toddler is grabby.

Now I just need to paint his room.

Green maybe???
