My two favorite artists



I recently took down everything I had hanging on my kitchen walls because I was just tired of it. My kitchen is a lovely shade of yellow and my curtains are cream colored with shades of pale green and light coral. I've been looking for a few weeks for something to replace the old stuff and just hadn't found anything that struck my fancy, yet remained in my budget.

While browsing the internet one day, I can across these and couldn't resist. Plus I had a coupon! I already had the paint on hand that matched my kitchen (plain dumb luck!) and the painter's tape as well. So my new art cost me around $7 total!



I set up my two favorite artists with their supplies and let them go to town!

The canvases are 12x24 inches. I taped off Riley's name with painter's tape (I highly recommed the painters tape, I can't vouch for how regular masking tape will perform under layers of acrylic paint) Riley did his in upper and lower case letters because that's how he writes his name now.

(Riley flat out refused to touch the paint with his fingers, so he used a large paint brush)

Sawyer's was taped off in block letters for two reasons: The S and A were easier to create in block letters, and I had a harder time squeezing his letters onto the canvas)

(S wasn't too keen on the finger painting)

My beautiful new wall art!

(And as my Mom pointed out yesterday-there's still room for one more! <wink wink> LOL)

Needless to say, there's a small stack of canvas in other sizes waiting for my little Picassos to create me some new decor!
