UnArt?

Ever since I moved last September, I’ve been looking for some word art to hang in my office. Things like “Dream,” “Create,” “Imagine,” “Believe,” and so on. I haven’t been able to find any that I like, though. It’s all too…perfect.

 

Yesterday, I worked in Ardmore with Mom. When we were done, we went to Hobby Lobby. I decided I wasn’t going to buy anything, but in looking around, I thought if I can’t find what I like, why not paint it myself?

 

So I bought the supplies: a set of acrylic paints, paint brushes, and two packages of 2 canvasses.

 

I started them this morning. Two of them are done. I waited for my brushes to dry before doing another one. The other two were finished this afternoon.

 

“Create” – yellow, orange, 2 reds, bold black lettering

“Dream” – 2 blues, purple, bold black lettering

“Imagine” – light gray, yellow, light green, white script

“Believe” – red, brown, peach, purple, yellow script

I like the way they look but they’re FAR from perfect, which is how I wanted it. You can see brush strokes and some canvas showing through.

 

It’s fun! After this, I might have to buy some more canvasses. Do a series of punctuation.
