I will be the first to tell you I am not an artist. This morning though I decided to give it a try, and rather than go out and buy art for my son’s room, I decided I was going to try and make it.
Knowing that my son is wanting to do his room in a “rocket” theme, I headed out to Google to find inspiration.
After finding a few images that seemed do-able, I invited the B-man to weigh in. We agreed upon a rocket picture that both he liked and that I felt I could replicate.
I grabbed some acrylic paint and a canvas we had in the basement from some previous art adventures and Voila!
Well how did I do? I think OK. Check it out:
My Rocket Ship “Masterpiece”….
I did the whole thing freehand, drawing the images in pencil, then covering them with paint. When I asked the Bman what he thought, he loved it. Unfortunately now he wants me to make a painting for each of his walls (augh!). Not sure there’s that much “artist” in me!
This looks great Shannan! Your inner artist is pretty awesome.

Great JOB ! I’ve been meaning to have my daughter make some art for my house
I love the idea. So fun and a great project to save for a rainy day !!
Shannan, it looks great! Since you are now an artist, I was hoping I could hire you
! Need some major redecorating for Ashten’s room. How good are you at drawing ducks? I tried and it turned out to be some awkward monster – very creepy!
You did a Great Job! I like to sketch but have always had trouble adding color:)

Wow! Shannan this is fab! I can see why he wants a picture for each wall…
I think it turned out great! You’re braver than I am. I suck at drawing/painting/artistic stuff like that in general and I wouldn’t even try! lol
I like it! I wish I was better at crafts but I totally suck at it. Loving your rocket – it’s good!
