Here is a recent home project I did to solve a design dilemma! I have a very long entryway. Along one wall I have a collection of photos, art and a piano. The wall directly across from it, however, has been bare since we moved in to our home. I did not want to do anything that would distract from the gallery of pictures but I also felt the blank wall needed
something. I found this wallpaper at Target on sale awhile back. The background color matched the color of paint in my hallway all ready (one of my favorite colors - Tiffany blue!) I hung the paper on the blank wall. I love the pewter tree design but it still did not feel complete. I decided to paint a number of birds in a turquoise color along the wall. The overall effect feels more like a mural now and the birds make me smile!
My oil painting class continues and here is my latest. Our first still life with flowers! The canvas size is 8x8. I am really enjoying painting on a small scale. As for the subject, I find flowers intimidating to paint but, like my birds, sunflowers make me smile!
