So don't judge me if YOU are. I have never even taken an art class - design classes excluded because we didn't learn how to paint in those. But, for my mom's 50th birthday bedroom redo, I attempted my first ever canvas and acrylic paint project. That one was more of an abstract and I got inspiration from a piece I found online called Purple Rain I by Lanie Loreth. Looking back, I would probably change it a bit, but here it is in her room.
And for my second ever canvas paint
project, I made a piece for my living room. I found inspiration
in a piece that I really liked at work, but even with my discount it
would have been $250. Maybe someday I will be able to afford
that for a piece of art, but not right now! So I took a stab at making my own with acrylic paint and a canvas that I picked up on sale at
Michaels.
I actually really like the way the colors turned out. There are shades of aqua, grey, navy and even some periwinkle. The branches
didn't turn out exactly like I imagined, so I may end up changing or eliminating those. My painting skills will just
have have continue to evolve with practice and this may be an ever
changing piece, but for now I will enjoy it like this.
