My Art: Christmas Present

Well, surprisingly, it's been over a year since my last art project. I was feeling the itch again, but was out of canvases. So, with a recent sale, I stocked up on my supply. And, with Christmas season upon us, I decided to make a painting for a friend's gift.


Using her favorite color (pink) and her favorite verse, I was able to create a simple personalized gift.

With this project, I decided to try out a couple of new twists:
1. Normally I try to get the outline of the canvases to be a quadrilateral...but for this one, I let be an odd shape.
2. Normally I try to have all lines be the same size...but for this one,  I had all vertical lines be one size, and horizontal lines be another size.
3. Normally I try to have all lines be the same color...but for this one, I had different colors for the vertical and horizontal lines.
4. I also added text to my Mondrian-style painting, which is new.

We'll see how I feel about these experiments, as I may try them again in future projects.

Stay tuned.
