An Afternoon of Painting

This week my kids are on spring break and I took the week off so we could all hang out as a family with no worries. Today was arts and crafts day and one of the few times I actually tried to paint something.

When I finished making a few different pieces of art, my first thought was to take photos and share them. That made me realize how I’m such a beginner that I don’t care if it’s bad, compared to say sharing code where I’m self-conscious that I’m only sharing my best work or something unique.

As we mature in our niches we have a tendency to only show our green grass and keep our flaws hidden and I believe that is bad for the world.

So without further ado here is my finished art pieces:

I’m not particularly proud of any of them and don’t worry, I’m not quitting my day job. It was a fun project to get away from the computer screen and to get to spend some quality time with the kids, A win-win.
