Hope everyone is enjoying mid-July.
Mixed Media 9x12 Scraps of paper and oil pastels
Today's art work is all about using what I have. I had a 9x12 canvas board I had painted on some time ago. It was art effort I didn't care for. I appied a layer of acrylic medium and used a bunch of random scraps to cover the board. I then applied a very thin wash of white acrylic to knock back some of the brighter colors. I used oil pastels to create the flowers and to "age" some of the edges. It was an enjoyable process.
I know the Tuesday Tea Party regulars will have some interesting posts so I'm going to visit Elizabeth's blog and catch up with the activities.
Hi I really like your art piece-thanks for sharing and Happy T
ReplyDeleteYour mixed media piece is lovely. Thanks for sharing how you did it. Love the coffee quote. :) Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteI know there are lots of techniques for re-using canvas or board for new art works, and I've seen quite a few that are very creative. I like what you did with this idea.

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful canvas, Darla. I like how you incorporated book pages with the flowers. It turned out lovely and I hope you hang it with pride.
ReplyDeleteI love that quote. It fits me to a T!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful art and your coffee saying with us for T this Tuesday.
I had to smile at your quote. It's a good start anyway.
ReplyDeleteYour art work is beautiful. The book pages in the back ground really make it interesting. Lovely colors too.

Well that's a lovely piece of art. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI love the result of your creativity, Darla. It's sort of a muted look but still evokes the essence of the flowers. Lovely. Enjoy your tea!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes use old art work that I don't care for and recycle it. Your pieces looks beautiful, I love that you can still see the book pages in the background.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I missed this congratulatory sentence on our 9th anniversary, but I did. I even checked every blog and somehow missed the VERY FIRST SENTENCE you wrote. I have corrected that, though with an edit and a SINCERE apology.
