Making your very own art

I recently gave my kitchen a facelift by spray painting/painting a few key items. I went from bright reds to blues/greens. I had found this picture, well two of them actually, at a garage sale for $1. While it worked with the red theme it didn't look so hot with the blues/greens. I kept looking for something else in my new color scheme to fit in the space but had no luck.

Then I thought what if I just re-painted this perfectly usable canvas that doesn't match my decor any more anyways?

I got my inspiration from The Nester-www.thenester.com/2012/01/handmade-wall-art.html.

I spray painted on a coat of primer...

...then hit it with a coat of the blue I used in the kitchen.

Just started sponging on different shades of blues, greens, golds & browns. I used spray paint,  acrylic paint & leftover latex paint.

Picked this guy up at Hobby lobby & spray painted on dark blue swirls. When those dried I sponged some more to blur the swirls a little

 

Finished product! All with a recycled canvas & left over paint.
