Steampunk Inspired Canvas

Being inspired from watching someone's tutorial is a great way to expand your techniques and also to learn new techniques. Gabrielle (check her out HEREinspired me and made me realize I CAN DO THIS! She is amazeballs! 

I switched some aspects and enjoyed the learning process. I am not hesitant to add colors and try something new now. 

Mixed media is letting me get back into the art world after so many years away. I broke both of my arms and wasn't able to paint for a year. By the time I was done with physical therapy and healing I knew I couldn't do the painting that I had in the past. So I didn't pick up a paintbrush for 15 years. My husband gave me 2 blank canvases for my birthday in April 2014 and now I am back trying. What a journey! 


Thanks for reading and leaving your lovely comments. It brightens my day! Carpe Diem! ~€

  1. Stunning! I also watch videos and learn from other artists, that is what helps the creative process sometimes. We all need inspiration every once in awhile. :p
