painting

I have a new obsession...painting. I love it. It helps me release stress and gets my creative juices flowing. I'm not very good at all, but i love it. Here are some of my recent creations.

First I took the black paint and painted abstract curves and lines. Then I took some of the plain melted wax and dripped in on the top of it to add textures. Next I mixed the melted wax and crayons to get the colors. The last step was to add the beads and wax into the hot wax to give it more texture. I love the finish product. It is hanging in our living room (And you get to check our lovely wood paneling).

This next one I watered down acrylic paints and then used a blow dryer to move the paint around the canvas. To give it texture, there are layers of my Spanish book, foil and toilet paper.

This last one I used a water bottle lid as my paintbrush.

I know that they are all abstract and they may not be your cup of tea, but I love them.
