A Long Overdue Project

A while back, I found an idea on Pinterest that I really wanted to make. Of course it took me until now to actually act upon it. It was a post with a step by step guide to making abstract art. It told how to mix the colors and where to place them. you could definitely run with this idea and make more colors and shapes with your piece, but the post told how to make this particular painting. It has been so long since I picked up a paint brush. It felt like chilling out with an old friend.
Disclaimer: I did not come up with the idea for this painting out of my own imagination. I simply followed the directions from the artist (linked below) in her blog post.

The finished project.

Here is how I have decided to style it. I will probably get restless and mix it up in the near future, but I think the colors and textures look good together.

I am really feeling the old school wash tub metal.

Well hello there beautiful candle. P.s I love geodes. I actually found this one.

Apparently I really love pinecones too. I think they make a room feel cozy. I found this nautical lantern at T J Maxx and had no idea how to put it to good use. I finally thought to put a few pine cones in it and intwine some battery operated twinkly lights from Hobby Lobby. It brings the room together makes me feel like I'm in, you guessed it, a cabin.

Here is the link to the artist that created the painting:
