Over a year ago I decided I wanted to paint something to
hang in this big white space next to our dining room. I decided I wanted it to be a swirling
pattern that flowed between 6 different canvases.
This is what I ended up with!
(Ignore the clutter of stuff below the pictures...we are rearranging for the holidays!
Who am I kidding, we are just trying to fit 10lbs of shit in a 1lb house, or something like that!!)
I actually finished these in November of last year, but
Terry just hung them up Monday night…we got sidetracked in January :)
The picture quality is horrible as they are camera phone
pictures, but you get the idea. There
are three continuous lines that flow between all 6 canvases and start and end
in the bottom right canvas.
And to totally toot my own horn (dirty girl, not in public)
I must say that even though these pictures do not do my amazing artwork
justice, it turned out REALLY good!
The colors are bronze, black and wine which go with our
dining room that is painted in a wine color and has bronze accents. The canvases stick out about 1 ½ inches and I
glued black ribbon around the outside of the canvas.
I was surprised how long these took me to do; it wasn’t as
simple as just painting a line….no, no I am too fussy meticulous for that. I had 4 pencil drawings to figure out the perfect
patterns so the painting didn’t look too cluttered and had a smooth flow and I wanted
each line to be a certain width and to have a certain look. Each line has different textures, which you
would have to see in person. (Yes, you
can come visit me!)
Overall I am really excited by how these turned out and that
after a year they are FINALLY up! I
really can’t believe what a difference it makes in the house.
(Ok, I am done tooting myself.)
