knock off art

I ended up doing a version of the black and white art that I was loving. I did it on a smaller scale, and made 2 of them. They are framed in gold frames I wasn't using, and I'm quite liking them. I'll have to get a shot of where they ended up-

supplies I had on hand.. kids Ikea roll of paper, black paint sample pot ( $1, home depot ) borrowed the girls paint brush and away I went

quick outline. ( Calleigh asked why I was painting squares, and why I didn't draw them properly ) While painting, I realised they look like my province.


dried and framed. I promise I'll show you where they are now..

remember the inspiration-



images, mine + house beautiful. ( I think we know which is which ;)

  13. This turned out awesome!
    I attempted a similar trick myself a few years back and now have peppered my home with black and white wall art. Fake art is so fun ; )
    After all, it's real art now, you've made it so.
