halloween town

My family decided to decorate for halloween with a twist this year. 

Painting pumpkins is a quicker and much less messy way to enjoy the Halloween season.

australian dot art

Last summer I visited a friend in Seattle. 

While he gave me with an awesome tour around the city, 

we went to an art museum. 

I realized it was my first time ever being in one. 

I loved it all, but there was one piece that really caught my attention. 

It was Australian Dot Art painted by whole groups of people

on huge animal hides. 

The one I saw looked similar to this one.

I loved the idea so much, I decided to come home and try it myself. 

Here are a few pieces I was able to finish during that summer. 

 "When the Stars Go Blue"

 "Star-Spangled Banner"                   "Just Keep Swimming"
