A different kind of painting

Hi Everyone,

Master Bedroom
I have completed a commissioned piece since I last posted but I'm not allowed to share it with you yet:( 
So I thought I would share my weekend project.  I was painting this weekend just not on paper.  

We recently moved into this house and we'll only be here for a year so I didn't change the wall colors.  I wanted to lighten this green wall color up so I have white bedding and I wanted to add white lamps without spending  fortune.



So I visited Goodwill and found these 2 beauties for $5 each.  Bought a can of spray paint and voila, new lamps:)

I stopped in at Hancock Fabric store and they had the blue and white lampshade that I thought would be perfect but they only had one, but they were 50% off so I rummaged through their shelves and found the same pattern but in orange.  I came home and pulled out my acrylics and changed the color.


For around $30 I have 2 new lamps and I think they look great in the room.   I now have a hand painted lampshade which would cost big $$ if you were to purchase from a designer store.  The picture in the middle is a beach scene from Ireland that we had blown up.  And of course I have some ball jars with sand and candles.



Thought I would also share some studio pictures with you.  This is my new painting area.  I just love the huge windows.

I hope you have a great week!  Happy Painting!
