Birthday Painting Post

My birthday was last January, but I never got around to posting this project. It was a birthday present to myself. I picked up three square canvasses and black and gold paint. All I needed was a subject, so I went for a walk.

I found three potential subjects, and used the best parts of each.

My boyfriend drew the dried flower (right) on one panel, and I drew the connecting stem (left) across the other two panels.

 

I painted the canvases with three coats of gold paint, and then three coats of black paint. This took about four days of drawing/painting/drying time. What I really should have here is a finished photo of all three panels, but I really should hang them first . . . I owe ya one.
