Painting the wall!

 I Painted the Wall!

No not literally - artistically! No...I actually created, no came up with an idea of a painting - but made a painting without painting. You may wonder if that is possible.

Can one paint without painting? I never thought so - I always thought you had to paint to paint, but it turns out you don't have to paint to paint. Now you're confused!

No need to worry. The only way is … if someone did it before you and then you frame it!

But before I explain any further on my painting without painting, let me explain how it came to be.

How it came to be?

Fast behind a couple of years to this blog post - Blog Link - It was January 10th, 2021 - so a little over a year - actually on my blogirthday. I had created a picture of the Immaculate Heart of Mary with pastels and framed it on a big wooden frame and hung it on the north wall of the dining room.

Now fast forward many months to when my brother started throwing bouncy balls continuously, nonstop at the wall, specifically the north wall.

Now fast forward a few days, maybe a couple of months. Somehow a rubber object kinda shaped like a sphere was hurled through the air uncontrollably, some might say controlled, others might not, and then imagine glass being shattered. (pause here to imagine the glass being shattered. Or if you are super interested/bored/over achieving click here to see glass shattered.)

But it doesn't stop there. The picture hung there for a few more weeks or days until it was struck again and finally the back of the frame gave out and the picture fell out.

Now just for a moment imagine an empty frame hanging on a white popcorn textured wall. Yes? You have that in your mind, now look below at the photo - were you close?

Yes. That is how it came to be. I call it "Popcorn" others call it an empty frame hanging on the wall.
