A Little Fun Art Project (and cheap too!)

Well, now that we are almost unpacked, we are trying to decide where we want to hang pictures. We painted our room white with a gray accent wall (you can look at the posts of our house to see) but didn't really think we had any artwork that matched. Since we are trying to not spend too much money, I decided to do an art project with Harrison. I got 2 art canvases n a 16x20 size and some black paint. Then I just striped Harrison down to his diaper and poured the paint on his hand. He loved the feel of it and I just put his hand on the canvas and let him do whatever. They turned out pretty good.
Here we are getting started. He doesn't know what to do with it at first...
He actually was more messy during the cleanup then during the project. I didn't plan that part well enough.
He loved playing in the water but it didn't clean him up so we ended up in the bathtub after this.
These are the finished drying product. We are still waiting to hang them because I am not sure which direction I want them to face. I think they turned out great and the whole thing cost less then $8! Not bad for 2 original paintings!
