    Love is in the air

    love canvasWe celebrated our 20th Anniversary this weekend. It was wonderful to reminisce while spending a quiet day together. With it being Easter weekend, a get-away will have to wait for a later date. That’s ok..then we get to celebrate twice!

    I was totally inspired to create this canvas on Saturday morning. It all just sort of came together all at once.

    Supplies:

    • 6×6 canvas
    • tissue paper
    • rubber stamps (mostly Stampin’ Up!)
    • Staz-on ink
    • Liquitex matte medium
    • Liquitex Basics–bright aqua green
    • India ink
    • scrapbook paper
    • canvas letter stickers

    love

    T Tuesday: canvas edition

    I’m a little late for T stands for Tuesday again. I went to set mom’s hair this morning then stopped by knitting for a bit. Those ladies are so funny sometimes! The stories they have to tell…wowsers…had me blushing this morning. HA!caribouYesterday I had mentioned that I’d been painting a lot. In fact I was almost late for my study group because I lost track of time.

    heartstringsThis one I call Heartstrings. It didn’t come out exactly like I had in my head but I still really like it.  It’s on a 12×12 canvas. There are many layers and lots of texture.

    ocean abstractThis is the one that had me almost running late yesterday. I hadn’t intended on an abstract landscape but that’s how it ended up. This is a 6×6 deep edge canvas. I picked up a 4 pack at Micheal’s last week. It’s a perfect size for me.

    bold intentionsThis is my favorite. I call it Bold Intentions. I used a palette knife to create the red drag marks down the left.

    I’m heading to lunch now with a friend so I’ll be back to catch up with my blog friends later this afternoon.

    What are you doing today?

    Poetry Canvas #2

    20130609_2202My friend Sandy asked if I’d do another canvas featuring her published poem. She wanted to give it to her mom who encouraged her to enter the contest in the first place.

    I reworked a previous canvas that never felt quite done to me.

    Sandy’s words in addition to the changes have now made this a completed work.
