Paintings

Whenever I go to thrift stores, I look through their art sections. I search for cheap, used canvases and paint over them! It's WAY cheaper than buying a brand new, clean & white one. If I do want a white background, then I use a can of white spray paint to quickly cover everything.

I did the top painting for Atlas/Ariel and the bottom one for our house. The bottom one took me a long time. I just couldn't mix the colors I wanted...eventually I just caved in and took the closest I could get. But I like it now :]

    I love the ottomh one!! Very cool. The colors look perfect. (oh and I love the top one too, but you already knew that....I forgot I was going to send you a picture of it in his room hu....hmmm I'll get around to that....it looks so good in there. But I guess you will see for yourself pretty soon) :)

      Acrylic. And I always get them from Michael's. If you go to this link you can always get some sort of coupon http://weeklyad.michaels.com/ so they end up being pretty cheap :)
