Well, it’s been many, many months since I decided I was going to paint my own abstract piece of artwork, but finally the big one is done!

After I found the canvas and had it shipped, I have to admit that it sat in my living room, blank, for another few months. I decided to do a smaller practice canvas first. It was a huge help in learning how to better mix colors and use my brushes. The final big one didn’t look anything like the first one, but I really love both of them and have them both hanging in the house. The color schemes are different and the design/pattern/texture is also quite different, but they make me happy when I look at them and that’s all that matters I suppose! The big one also made for a nice back drop when Christine was helping me shoot pics for the Sweet Lemon Mag feature.

I enjoyed painting this big canvas so much and couldn’t believe how much of a stress-reliever it was at the end of the day. Maybe someday when I have fewer obligations, I’ll devote some real time to painting. Until then, it’ll be random projects I guess!
