If you have been with me for sometime then you will know that my husband Griff died in November 2018, and since then this house has been just that ... a house.
But I am now ready to turn it back into a home for Ruby and me and start adding some colour into my safe place again. I have started doing things to it that I have neglected.
And we where both so happy with it once it was done
You may know that I have recently discovered acrylic paint pouring and this is giving me lots to learn and think about and it is something I am enjoying. Griff would have loved this artwork as he was always so proud of the oil paintings I did at night school back in 1994. And yes they where still on my walls all these years later.
But now, in one of my bedrooms, I have done a feature wall and added a group of my own paintings and this is what that room looks like now.
I liked it so much that I decided to do a similar thing in the other bedroom.I tried some canvases on the wall to see what size I wanted.
And then I turned it from this boring cream wall
... to this, which is deep wine red and matches the bed cover and the curtains to perfection.And as Griffs two daughters bought me a lot of canvases for my birthday last week I have plenty to keep me occupied.
I have lots of ideas and walls to fill yet so I will be showing you some more as I go along
More tomorrow ...
