I got rid of the bright blue background, and it’s now gray with a slight hint of slate blue.

Kinda funny story..I have painted A LOT of paintings with bright blue backgrounds, but I have absolutely no idea why. Maybe someone said they liked the color, so I started using it all the time? Maybe I thought I was painting bright blue sky or maybe it just became a habit? I don’t know, but I have never been fond of the color blue, unless it was a darker shade. Slate blue or Payne’s gray, yes. Bright blue, no.

One day my sister-in-law asked me if blue was my favorite color. I said, no. I thought to myself, I don’t even like blue, why is she asking me that? That’s when it hit me that almost every painting I painted had a bright blue background. Duh! lol I stopped using that horrid shade of bright blue that very day.

Soon, these two are going to be snuggled up together, and I can’t wait to get that shot. Until then, they’re butt buddies.

My Pinterest account got hacked the other day. Who would hack Pinterest, and why?? I mean, it’s not like they got any personal info by hacking me. They put up a board called “this is great” and pinned one thing to it. I deleted it without looking at it, so I don’t know what it was. They changed my website url, and said I lived in Paris, France. Cute, right?  If you saw that weird stuff going on, it wasn’t me. If you clicked on that website link, you probably should do a virus scan. I have no idea what it was they linked to because I didn’t click on it, but it probably wasn’t good. :/ Luckily, Pinterest caught what was going on, and locked my account before they were able to do much damage.
