Simple Summer Setting


I felt like doing a little art tonight, so I pulled up the old Paint 3D app and tried out the oil brush setting. The texture reminded me of something one might have seen on Blue's Clues- maybe one of the paintings or felt pictures Steve and Blue skidooed into?

I liked how simple and soft it felt.

Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Breeze, Goodnight App That Lets Me Share Art With Ease


Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown is a classic children's book. I highly recommend it.

Some friends and I like to stay in touch and plan activities throughout the week by group text messages, but recently our group has grown larger than some people's phones can handle, so we've moved the conversation over to GroupMe. So far it's working out nicely.

On a whim, I downloaded the GroupMe app for my laptop, and I discovered it's ridiculously easy to share my little digital doodles on it. Some apps, like 3D Paint app (which I used for this little drawing) have a "share" function that allows me to slap my drawings up on GroupMe or other social media apps without even saving them to my computer first. I am absolutely enthralled with this feature and intend to drive my friends crazy with every little doodle that pops into my head.

(If you don't comment on the fact that I used 3D Paint to make 2D art, I won't have to make a mean face at you)
