The Monster Painting


I am pretty sure I've mentioned on here about me working on a huge painting (4 ft. x 5 ft) for my friends Adrien and Nathan. Well here is the final product! We recycled the canvas from a painting she had done previously, and I wanted to use some sort of woodgrain pattern on it somewhere. But obviously I didn't have a big enough printer to print a large sheet of woodgrain. So I came up with the idea (from a painting Adrien had done) that I would use 2" squares of woodgrain, and make them kind of have the basket weave effect. Since I decided to do that in the center, I wanted the rest of it to be pretty simple so it wouldn't be too busy. This is also inspired by my Zoom series, since it uses the circles and similar colors. I have to say that I love it! I am super happy with the way the woodgrain turned out and the way it all looks together.

This is Adrien and Nathan's living room. Doesn't it look so good in there? They just put down the bamboo flooring too! My hubs is drooling over their cool coffee table too. :)
