Canvas Painting

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!

  9. WOO HOO....my gosh, she's gonna flip! Who knows, she could consign your work for her future decorating projects and your work could hang in hundreds of homes!!!!! It's absolutely gorgeous how you captured what she does and loves onto this canvas. The sentiment really got me...that's perfect. I do believe your DH is spot on with his opinion.
    Hugs to you!
