Art Completed Projects

I recently visited my sister in Florida under a very stressful time for her and her husband. Spent most of the time cleaning and helping her get her condo back in order after a mold disaster. I was glad to get home, but the trip left me uninspired to work on my ton of WIP projects and Christmas projects.

I decided instead to clean house and go room by room and get stuff done in each room. This includes putting up any decor, curtains, etc. and getting rid of junk and unused excess.

I started in the guest room…I needed something on a wide wall next to the closet and something over the bed. I also need to frame some prints for the “library” part of the room…and clean out the closet!

I decided to start with art over the bed but ended up putting it on the wide wall instead.

I started by using lessons I learned in @geekgirl’s Art Jornaling and Zoom sessions…treated three black canvases as my background, and did them like a masterboard…paint, ink, splatters, stamps, etc. I then cut out fish from some Japanese pages.

I connected the three canvases before hanging with black duct tape in back…it is what I had…lol…

It was engaging and took my mind off things and got me back in the mood to make stuff.

You know I have been obsessed with fish since you started doing them! I made way more cutouts than I needed so I am going to paint them for future use…thanks for inspiration and lessons as well…why pay $$$ at Home Goods for prints when you can make your own? Not exactly fine art, but for a guest room, perfect! lol
