OUR BARN

I painted our barn, what fun !
It's so pretty here with the fall color.
I used burnt umber and white for the barn, and then burnt umber for shading.
Matted it on a rust , and then onto the brown card.
Thanks for stopping by.

butterfly card

To get this background I used white texture medium mixed with the green paint and applied it with a painting knife. Before it dried I scraped some lines through it. The texture medium takes a while to dry.
The flower and leaves are a stencil I made , I applied the texture medium over the stencil.
I painted the butterfly onto the card.
The image is sewed on with purple thread.
It makes for a heavy card with the texture medium so sewing it on works well, plus it gives the card that homemade touch.
Thanks for stopping by.

landscapes


It's been a long time since I got lost in painting. So that's what I did today.
Something different for me to paint, the wooded area. Used different colors in the sky, for a mix.
It was fun!
I blend the sky colors so it's a gradual change of hues, and not a harsh line.
I sewed the image to the card.
Hope to be posting soon again.
Thanks for stopping by.
