I bought, actually downloaded an e book, yesterday. It has beautiful, colorful paintings with so much inspirational ideas. I couldn’t wait to put the ideas on to canvas in my own way. Click here to read about it. Here is the address of the authors website too, it is great. http://www.carrieschmittdesign.com/?page_id=19

Starting with a canvas 24 X 36. Gesso and then white paint.

I use heavy body liquitex acrylic paint because I love texture. There are six colors on here and I made it in an impressionistic way.

Used a stencil that was named hurricane but I look at it as a sun. I used some yellow and orange paint to tint the embossing paste. I was satisfied with the way it turned out. I will be painting flowers and the inspiration will be coming from my garden. Please come back to see how it’s coming along.
