Sweet Harvest - Psalm 91:11

I was finally able to get some better pics of my latest canvas this morning, YAY! 

I'm calling this 12x12 canvas "Sweet Harvest".  My inspiration for this piece came from a recent trip to Hobby Lobby.  The isles were full of the warm rich colors of fall and the sunflowers really stood out to me.

With fall in mind, I got to work.  First I doodled on some flourishes with 3D Gloss Enamels.  I wanted to add texture and dimension to my background.  If you use this product on your project, be sure to let it dry naturally.  I let this cure over night before continuing.

Next I began layering in my colors using Raw Umber and Yellow Oxide Golden Fluid Acrylics.  I also used TH masks with Red Liquitex spray paint.  I spread the red paint around with a baby wipe to blend it into by background.  I also used some ART-C mist to tone the color down a bit.

Remember those 3D doodles?  I ran my brayer over the canvas with some Raw Umber to help them pop.  I love the way they turned out :D 

In keeping with the harvest feel, I used some burlap and stamped my sentiment on canvas.  I  wanted to tie the red in and give the canvas piece a finished look so I ran it through my sewing machine with some red thread.  It was looking a little stark to me so I toned it down with ART-C Mist.

The beautiful die cut sunflowers are from K&Company and those gorgeous roses are from Paper Studio.

Here's a closer look :D

The blue strip of patterned paper is from an ART-C kit.

I've been wanting to use that feather for awhile!
