Custom Art
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at a custom piece of art? An idea is to purchase a canvas, for instance a large 48" * 36" or two 16" * 24". Prime the canvas with Gesso, and purchase a few tubes of acrylic paint. Flip through some art books or a magazine for inspiration. My daughter and I are inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe and her beautiful flowers. We did a project one Saturday (and we're not artists). We had a great time and we were very happy with our results. It's a fun project, and you might surprise yourself, and make it a focal point of your room!
