At least I hope it looks like a rose.
I have been painting signs to sell at the flea market that I will be in THIS weekend.
Oh my gosh it is coming so fast.

Am I ready? .........Well....... maybe, if I would stop being creative.
I tried, but then I went to my father's home and I found some wonderful chippy wood that just called out to be made into signs. I made some simple # signs, I saw some at a show in PA while on vacation and I thought I would give it a try.
My favorite #.
I have always been drawn to painting, furniture, walls, floors. I have always wanted to try on canvas but I like working with oils and acrylics look rather than water color.
I know I feel happy, calm and at piece when I am doing a painting project.

This is my first ROSE.
It is more of an abstract than real. It is part of a sign that I plan on selling.
I have finally made something that I secretly hope does NOT sell.

Can I recreate it?
Not exactly...... I am not sure how I did it in the first place.
This is the sign finished.
I think if it does sell I just might have to try another rose.
It was fun!
Very pretty! And I like all the numbers too. Numbers and letters are so hot right now. I wish I had your discipline for getting things done!

Yay, I too love those number wood tiles that are popping up everywhere I think you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteOh poo, I was just at my friends house last night and they were cleaning out old barn wood from the property they bought and I was dying to take it home and use it, it would be perfect for your paintings.

I love your flower market sign, I would love to buy it. Hope you make more in the future.
ReplyDeleteI love the line when you say you have no idea how you did it. You make me laugh in a good fun way. Your sign is awesome. if you want it why sell it?
ReplyDeleteI think its beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteAlaina,
ReplyDeleteI paint. You use oils and acrylics
on canvas. Watercolors are a tricky medium to master. You use them on watercolor paper.
Great job! I especially like your numbers. They are very popular now in home design and will sell quickly. "5" is my lucky number too!
Your Friend,
Deborah
