canvas layout "happy times"

Hi all!

This post is for Rob, my husband.

We absolutely love our long nature walks and esp. in the forest.

This photo of the two of us is special to me.....happy times together.....

Love to work with canvasses. 

Perfect to hold all the mediums!

Once again I started this with preparing the background with modeling paste, 

which I applied with a spatula.

Added the paints in brown and green nature colors.

Also added some paint splatters.

Was trying to get a bee, insect, butterfly nature scenery (if this is making any sense! hahaha).

The paints and embellies were given a final touch with gesso.

All was touched by the gesso.

Oh my....can't work without my gesso! :)

These round wooden pieces were perfect for this nature project.

A green and brown flower cluster.

Some wooden small beads from an old necklace.

Happy times together.

Some threads for extra texture.

In my imagination, some moss from the forest. :)

Some threads as a centerpiece for the flower together with a wooden piece.

Enjoy your day!
