Lately, I've been doing a lot of this....
It started out with some left over boards from our fence which, with the help of my hubby, some screws, and a power drill, I turned into a panel. I actually did most of the drilling which is saying a lot given my fear of power tools and lack of technical know-how.
Then I set to work creating an ocean landscape... a scene to hang in my living room so I could dream about being near such amazing beauty, even though I live in the desert.
After a lot painting, sanding, and repainting I finally got it to be what I wanted... paradise!
Here it is on my wall....
Now all it needs is more ocean decor to go with it!
That looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful - very good - and also being painted on this lovely textured surface gives it so much more - I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I love the look of the paint on wood.
ReplyDeleteA remarkable piece of art!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the texture. Can't wait to see it in person!
ReplyDeleteWow! You're pretty talented! The painting is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent! I love what you used as a canvas ~ I think it flowed very naturally into the ocean perspective. Did you sand to create texture?
ReplyDeleteKathryn, the only sanding I did was on the edges. I wanted them to look rough. I was lucky that the boards themselves had nice textures already so I didn't have to add anything there. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's absolutely fabulous!! Great talent! Liz
