Crafts {Canvas Painting}

Friday, October 24, 2014

 Today's post is from a project I actually did in the Spring.  As a lover of beautiful things, home decor, and, craft projects this canvas paintings has become one of the most talked about pieces in my home.  While the final product is not what I had originally planned on making, it is one that I absolutely love.  I layered colors and textures, while using different techniques.  

Ultimately, I followed my gut and let go of the plan-- Isn't that the way all art is made?
