This is the second time that I have found a pig cutting board to use as a canvas for my painting. This one is slightly larger than the previous one and also has a cute curly tail. It cost 1.49 at the Goodwill, one of their weekly specials. Every Tuesday they feature a different color of tag and anything with that color is 1.49. I love Tuesdays! Instead of another block design, I decided to paint pansies only in colors that they don't naturally grow. I have mentioned my preference for things in black and white, but, red is a color that is next on my list of favorites. The flowers really jump out at you in this project. My next step is where to put her. Ah, decisions. Happy Creating!
A few weeks ago at work we marked down some pictures. They ended up being forty cents each, what a deal! There were five and I bought all of them. The frames are really pretty so they are going to stay as is, they will just get new artwork. Here is the first piece.
The design here is something that I've been thinking about for a week or so and finally put pen to paper and drew it out. It is like a floral design but also reminds me of something from my childhood, a Spirograph. I would sit for hours and make different 'doodles' with my Spirograph it was so fun! Maybe that is were my preference for geometric designs started. After the circular drawing was finished it needed something so it was cut out and put on a bright pink background. It seems like a basic design but it is complex too.
