Rooster Cheesebox, a crafty project




The Rooster Cheesebox is a recyled box I found in an antique store and I can't seem to pass one up as I visualize crafty scenes I like to paint on them.  They make great keepsakes for decor or use.  I would like to think one could put almost anything in it: hot bread/buns, cake, pie, papers, pictures, ~~~I painted this one using acrylics and will be putting it in our booth in the Old Alvin Emporium Monday.

Red Pot of Daisies Oil Painting

Red Pot of Daisies Oil Painting is on a 14x11 archieval canvas hardboard.  It is painted freestyle using wet on wet technique.  The brush strokes are visible on the flowers but smooth on the vase to create a contrast between the texture of the vase and flowers.  I like to do these as they are fairly fast and relaxing.  Hope you like it. Contact me if you wish to purchase it.
