Christmas is coming and I am done shopping, although the presents are not wrapped yet!
How are your preparations going?
This was a difficult request for me, my hubby asked for a canvas to give to the decorator. It needed to blend this one with her other paintings from her home. My husband is the Plumber and this crew works together a lot so he was excited about this request!
A bit intimidating for me as it has been a very looooong time since I have painted and then to do it for a decorator. I managed to complete this one and hoping she likes it. My hubby said it is perfect??? What is a man's version of that? lol
The main thing is "It is the thought that counts"
I did the background with paper pieces and painted her with Golden acrylic paints
I used clip art to mod podge in and then blended with acrylic paint, gelatos and distressed inks.
A few stamps and doilies in the background
The whole canvas has a rough texture on it, I dry brushed and rubbed paint to created the roughness which I like.
Thank you for visiting with me, I love your comments! I hope everyone is prepared for the Holidays! This weekend will be busy, but we are all together and I love it!
