New painting project
I
have had this project in my mind for awhile now and decided it was time to give
it a try.
I brought all of my
painting supplies out and started by painting the boards. Then I hand cut my
papers and made some sweet little frogs and painted cattails in the background.
I love to add words
to my art. Just little quotes or phrases. With a very small curved scissors I
cut my letters freehand. I think it adds to the whimsey of my art.
After all the papers are glued in
place I might add more painting. Then I just love to take my black gel pen and
outline the shapes and add cross hatches and squiggly lines. Then I go in with
markers for shading or maybe some of my gelatos too. I think it is about
finished. The houses went to one of my daughters and my sweet frogs are now
available in my Etsy shop. These works of art look beautiful hung over a door
or window. My daughter hung hers on a header separating her kitchen from her
dining room. She told me she wanted to hang it where she could see it all the
time!
