Here's is a second 12 x 12 canvas I painted up in a Kelly Rae Roberts inspired design for another charity fund raiser. It will be used as a door prize. Both fundraisers are for the Susan G. Komen 3-day walk next summer so I decided to do both donations very similar.
I had some old 8 x 8 and 10 x 8 thick canvases that I originally did designs with beeswax on them. I didn't think I could repaint over that even with melting as much off as I could so I completely ripped the canvas off the wooden frames. They're NICE frames....1.5 thick sides so I kept them. My son was awesome, he mounted 1/4 inch hardboard to them so I have 7 new canvases to create something on. This one has lots of texture, some writing stamped and a tree. Simple and fun.
I've been invited to put somethings in a local art gallery for a Holiday display so I'm trying to paint up some items that might be 'gift worthy' for anyone who decides to possibly shop there for Christmas gifts. We shall see what happens with this :)
Have a great Tuesday!

Darla these are great! I soooo love the tree!! What brush do you use for your trees? I always love the texture you give the leaves! Is that molding paste? And one more question! Did you add the words under or over the paste? Love it!! The colors are so amazing!
Congrats on the invite to put your work in the art gallery! I am sure you will come up with some great pieces!

Hi Darla!
Thank you so much for your lovely words on my blog, I was a bit bummed at first but you are right if we aren't a good fit then it's just as well. I've had some lovely encouraging messages from blog friends like yourself and I do feel alot better, I guess we all get a bit bummed at one time or another being creative definately has it's ups and downs. But I'm definately on the up now!!!
I've just been through your blog it seems I've missed quite a bit lately, been so busy with Riley's birthday preparations and a commission that I've been working on that I haven't had a lot of time to visit my blog friends.
