I love browsing through antique shops, and I especially enjoy the vintage toys! Sometimes, I even find toys from my childhood - and I long to paint them. My mom was so good to keep some of my favorite toys, and those toys bring back so many memories from childhood! I remember playing with this toy, though I don’t think it was new at the time. I remember how the tail sprung back and forth when batted at, and the way it would roll along on it’s wheels when pulled by the string. I even remember the feel of the cold plastic wheels, slick under my little fingers! It is amazing how such a thing can take me back in time! I think I’ll spend some time this month painting some of my childhood favorites - when its not snowing that is! That will take me right out to capture the landscape in oils! Painting number 1095 in 1095 days and Day 2 on the newest
30 Day Painting Challenge :)
