I haven't been around all that much due to pregnancy kicking my butt. I realized the other day that I hadn't yet posted pictures of my finished "work in progress" and since I got a brand spanking new happy early Christmas present from my awesome husband (aka: a Nikon D60), I thought I'd put it to use.
I ended up mixing some vintage text I found on etsy with the acrylic paint for added texture and then adding another layer of vintage text (not torn and covered with paint) to some of the circles. I finished it off with using a blending medium as well as charcoal for shadowing.
When I was finished I was so smitten with the final result that I decided to keep this painting for myself and my husband couldn't be happier. He is constantly complaining that I never paint anything for "us."
