It was a rainy weekend and Saturday morning we decided to get out the acrylic paint, brushes and canvases. We do this from time to time and I, for one, am a terrible artist. I always try to draw object, like trees, flowers or worse, I've attempted people. It's honestly hard to tell that I ever took art lessons as a child.
This time I stuck to abstract and I actually put some of it out on display! I'm certainly not a skilled artist but a little diy certainly added some color to the mantel in my living room.
I made a couple of similar mini ones. I framed up this one and placed it on a side table.
Have you ever tried your hand at abstract art?
Linking up to Cassie's "In About an Hour" Party. It actually took less than that!

hahah! "I always try to draw object, like trees, flowers or worse, I've attempted people." hilarious. Been there, done that.. and feel the same way!
ReplyDeleteNice job! I love the mini one!
ReplyDeleteI've tried, but it's harder then it looks! Love how yours turned out...I may just need to keep practicing!
ReplyDeleteI have tried it but I'm not very skilled. Your creations beats mine hands down. I love the color you used on the small one.
ReplyDeleteI love the new art! Beautiful! And I love the new blog design!

You are my hero! I've been trying to create some art for my dining room. I bought a giant canvas, but it is still blank. I'm practicing on smaller canvases for now, hopefully I can create something as lovely as yours.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those things I've always wanted to try, but I swear I'm even terrible at abstract art ;) I especially love the little one you framed - great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I've only done this twice, but every time I paint I'm always glad I did it. This is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this piece! I get a painting itch every once in a while, but I can't do anything as great as your! LOVE
ReplyDeleteLove it! How many different colors did you use to create this piece and did you prime the canvas first? I heard that priming it black first makes the colors more vibrant.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you used. This looks like a professional piece of art that people would pay lots of money for. My kids and I tried our hand at some canvas art this week, and I am so happy how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteI love these -- and especially the colors you chose! I've never tried my hand at something like this, but you're inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post that makes me crazy because it's all about modern abstract paintings.
ReplyDeleteKeep doing it. You never know what talents are inside you until you give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI have tried it, but my color combos never seem quite 'right'. Love yours!!
