Canvas

Hola!!

I hope you are all having a great weekend.  I have been very busy with work and grand babies.  Which is good because it makes my week go by fast.  So today I wanted to share with you a canvas I made.  It's my first one ever!!  Hubby printed this picture for me and it inspired me.  This is a special picture because our daughter surprised him on his 53rd birthday with tickets to the ball game.  Just the two of them and they had a great time.  The best he's had in a long time.

I colored the canvas with acrylic paint.  First black, then some brick red and two shades of blue.  I also used a lot of Tim Holtz embellishments, grungeboard, including the numbers and two sheets of his paper.  The beer caps and burlap were given to me in a swap.  I also used snow-tex to give it a rough texture.   I know it looks white in the picture but it's more of a sky blue.


I hope you like it.  Now I have to find a place to hang it up.  LOL  I am entering this for challenge #35 with Latinas de America.  The challenge is to use paint.  So I used 4 shades of paint.  :-)  Let me know what you think.
