Acrylic Abstract

 

Do you believe in accidents can become art? That is what this is.  I squirted gesso on a canvas and then had a phone call and forgot that I had left it without spreading it out. About 2 hours later I came back and saw the design. To me it look kind of asian or oriental so I colored the lumps in black and loved it. So of course I just went with it and painted the background in a red acrylic. Then I used Tim Holtz distress ink for the edges and painted the sides black. You can buy it framed like the 2nd picture at Redbubble.com. If anyone is interested in the original go to my Etsy store. Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn, Change of Seasons

I think I am catching on to this new technique I have learned. This is on wood, then painted, collage, then painted again, stamped, paint, glued, added buttons, waxed, and another coat of paint. So many layers....and much love put into it. This was another fun project. I have 2 more projects going and will post them as I get them done. The biggest problem is I ran out of wax!! Left one is the finished piece with the wax finish.
