Art and a Movie

I've been busy again painting another woman and I just love her! I again used molding paste for the texture and then painted over it with acrylic paint. There's something about those two women I recently painted (and I have a feeling there will be more...) that touches me deeply. As they appear from my brush, I am in awe of this creative process that surprises me every single time! Even though I am quite attached to her, she is available in my Etsy shop.

This afternoon we decided to go to the movies, but beforehand we stopped at another antique store close to the movie theater, where I found yet another great deal! I discovered this little book of the Fifty Best Poems of America. This tiny book is not in good shape, but will be perfect to use in some of my mixed media art. Quite a find indeed!
Now to the movie... About once a year (sometimes even less than than), Daniel and I decide to go see a movie on the big screen. Today was that day this year! Many, many people had told us that we absolutely needed to see the movie Up in the theater, so that's what we did, even though we are usually not into animated movies. It was fantastic, one of the best movies we've seen! So good in fact that I am posting the trailer right here for you to enjoy!



If you haven't seen it yet, if you like to laugh, if you love dogs, go see it! I think you'll love it as much as we did!
