My youngest has returned to school today and my older girls will resume their university studies in the near future. I really adore being home with them all but I don't seem to get much done. Instead we have jimmy-jam days, movie outings and cake cooking sessions.
As our building and decorating budget is tight, I have often painted canvases myself to 'fill - in' an expanse of wall or just as decoration. Sometimes I have been able to splurge, but rarely. If I ever had 'spare' cash it would definitely be spent on art. And travel. And.... more art! Like this :

| Norman Lindsay Lithograph 'The Anklet' |
 |
| 'Surface' by Martine Emdur - TOP of my wish list! |
 |

Whilst waiting for my Lotto win I might start actioning some canvases for the upstairs, unfinished rooms. I'm going to paint over this one I did for the last house and do something black & white or maybe a union jack?!
 |
| This is a Vivienne Westwood rug mounted as art. Drool!!!! |
And my baby boy at 9 needs something more mature. I'm thinking maybe a spot of graffiti?
 |
| OK for a newborn - six year old. Definitely past its due date! |
 |
| This is actually wall paper but it gave me the idea. |
It might be too 'old' for him though! Framed Vintage posters of his favourite movies might be better!
 |
| Not the best down load. But I'm sure you get the idea! |

You can paint!! That's amazing. The look you did looks great. Why do you want to paint over it :(
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of huge Walls in the new house. I have no idea what to fill them up with :( but I might wait until the house is finished before I start thinking about this one. I'm too stressed as it is :(
Can't wait to see what wall art you come up with :)

Hi B, I'm painting over this one because of the cost of the canvas in this size. I did it for the last house and although i have wall space to suit, the design / colours don't work for this one. I've bought some Marrimenko (sorry - I'm so spella!!!!)fabric for other areas. A really good idea for large art without the price tag!!!Maybe a good idea for a blog post!!!! LOL!
