Painted Canvas DIY – My Reward
I just finished up 2 large wholesale orders from Galleries, shipped them out , and now it’s time for some DIY!
Yes, I reward myself for working by getting to do a little diy project….
I have seen this project around the internet and knew I had to try it!
I ran over to the studio/storage house and flipped through the blank canvases I have and found 2 16×20 size! Giddy with happiness I quickly grabbed my painters tapes and taped off a square about 2 inches from the edges. Then I taped off each corner. I extended the tape around the edges and onto the back.
I then spray painted it with my new favorite Rust-oleum color GreenEden… I love this color, not too lime, not too dark green, just a fresh and happy green! 
I gave it one good coat and pulled off the tape… Lovin’ it!!
I didn’t do both canvases because I wasn’t for sure how it would work, but now I think that I will do the other one to have a matching pair!
I love the little wooden animals from Guatemala that were given to me by my aunt when our Daughter came home from Guatemala!
On top of the Antique Hutch until I paint the other one… Then who knows where they will go!

Great idea! This is such a simple DIY solution for wall art, but very dramatic. I love the pop of green against your white wall and brown cabinetry.
Looks really great. I have to try this. Thanks for sharing at my Sizzle into Summer party.
I’m visiting from a Bowl of Lemons – this is GORGEOUS! So inspirational! Now I know what to do with those canvases lying around
Thanks!
I love it! I going to try this myself.
Love it, what a simple and fun art piece. I will be featuring it on my blog tomorrow. Please come and grab a button when you get a chance.
Thanks so much Rita! What is your blog address, it isn’t showing up for me! xoxo -Jeri

I saw this on House of Hepworths. I am a firm believer that we can all create our own art with a little courage and painters tape! Great job. I will be trying this soon!!
Darling! Love that color, too!! I think this will have to be added to my weekend project list!! Thank you for sharing!!
