Leonardo da Painti

It's been a while, approximately 18 years or so, but I tried to do a spot of painting again. I was inspired by the Lidl prices for paint and canvas. Armed with cheap acrylic paints (only 5 colours, red, blue, yellow, black and white) I gave it a go to paint an image of where we are at the moment. To be honest, it was a nice quiet time as Clare and the children were sewing, so I just sat at the table and had a go at painting. I really enjoyed it actually. A calming pleasurable activity. I didn't use brushes, just bits of ripped cardboard off the paint and canvas packaging to drag the paint around. As I said, the colours were a bit limiting, but for a smidge of personal contentment, it worked very well. 
Whatever the results, I had a bit of fun.
