I’ve been working on a painting for my powder room for a few weeks. I prepped the canvas, started to paint and then (unhappy with the result) started all over again. I got so frustrated, that I turned my canvas and easel to face the wall. Last night, I realized that I had put my canvas on “time out”! I turned it back around and started again. It was late and I was tired, but inspiration hit. I continued to work even with my exhausted shaky hands.
It started as a vintage postage stamp Paris collage type painting… I’m not sure how to define it. The quality isn’t perfect and smooth, but I like it. It’s powder room perfect.
I took the picture before the paint was dry and the clear coat sprayed…
What project did you work on this weekend?

I really like this… perfect for a powder room. It’s super fun to create your own hanging art — something I haven’t tried yet. 🙂 ❤ DIY Barbie ❤

Thanks! Def something I enjoy. Hubster doesn’t always like my art… but then again he doesn’t really have a choice…

Well done! I will admit to having a chuckle when I read that you realized you had put the canvas in “time out.” But, hey! It worked and just look at the result.
