Yet Another Painting

Another of my adventures with acrylics.  This one is a mandala.  I tried several things, scraped them off or painted over them and started again.  This was a very fun painting to make.

My crappy photograph makes it hard to see this, but it's sort of textured.  You'll have to come to my home exhibit to see it properly! Ha.

Another Painting

As promised, here is the other painting I've completed (of a wave). One person who say it asked if I finger painted it.  I take that to mean it has good use of texture and not that it looks done by a 4-year old.  Although, finger painting always was fun....

Sorry about the terrible snapshot photo...all of the advice articles on having a nice blog say that you should only post beautiful pictures.  And I constantly ignore that advice.  Well, I'm doing it again:

Jeesh.  I was even too lazy to crop the photo.  But you get the idea. 

Back on Track: More Painting Pictures

So I haven't posted in an eternity because.....I haven't felt like it. I'm still not sure whether I'm going to keep posting regularly or if this is just a one time urge.

But in case you're interested, here is the most recent painting I did. It's actually really just me repainting a lovely design of someone else with much less skill. But I think it cheers up my office pretty well. I took the picture with my camera phone cuz I didn't remember to take a picture until it was up on the wall at work.


Now that I think of it, I may get around to posting the other painting I've done, which is an unintendedly abstract picture of waves.

More Painting

So I'm in love...with acrylic painting.  I really just can't stop.  Here's the latest (the slight color variation on the sides is cuz the paint was still wet when I took it) (Oh, and the design came from a picture I saw online--not my own):

You guys don't mind if this blog becomes all about my adventures with paint, right?  Haha, no...I promise there will be other crafts coming soon.  If nothing else, I really need to make myself a paint smock soon! 

Weekend Project

This weekend, I finally started getting serious about filling in my blank walls.   This is one way I did something about covering the boring off-white:

 

  

I'd never actually painted with acrylics before, so I felt pretty pleased with myself for managing not to totally destroy any of the little canvases I had.  If you wanted to make something like this, it's easy to find these small canvases at an art store.  After that, you just have to glue ribbon to the back for a simple hanger (I was happy to get to pull out the old glue gun).

Meanwhile, I've fallen in love with painting.  I want to do more!
