Gracey

Earlier this month Martin Kirkwood responded to a suggestion from funkyfacestudio to paint blindfolded, and posted his results in his journal (titled Stark Raving Bonkers )

I was inspired by his willingness to step up to the challenge, and found myself thinking “why not”.

Since I’m a photographer, not a painter, I figured I couldn’t do any worse blindfolded than I could while sighted.

I may have been wrong :)

I did cheat a little…I didn’t want a white background, so I painted that with green and black first. And I did have a little help. I didn’t put my paint on the canvas as Martin did, I put in my tray, and I needed help getting the brush to the tray.

I can tell you, my husband’s eyebrows were pretty much on the top of his when I told him what I was doing…filled in his bald spot rather nicely too, hehehe.

Still…it’s rather ugly (the result), but it was kinda fun (and definitely messy).

The one happy thought is that I can always paint over it :)

Thank you Martin and Funkyface for a nice break in a miserable gray day.
