Twyla on Tuesday


Hello dear friends!
Today I thought I would show you some things
I have painted.
I adore wooden shoe forms and normally would Never
consider painting them as I prefer seeing the pretty wood,
but I happened to find a couple that were not pretty at all!




I picked them up thinking that it would be fun to paint them.
The first one here is painted with Martha Stewart's Lagoon.
Such a pretty color!




I thought cherries would be a pretty decoration.




This next shoe is painted a pretty light pink. I then painted one
of my cottage scenes on it.




I really enjoyed painting these and am looking for more
homely shoe forms!




I have a small collection of oil cans.
I really wanted to add some whimsy to them.
Here is one I have painted, again with cherries!




My latest mixed media painting is this little sailboat.
It's called Merrily Down the Stream.  I painted the clouds and the sky
and the rest is scrapbook paper.
I continue to love this art form.
It makes me happy!



Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Enjoy Your Day!
Love, Twyla

  4. Love the blue with the cherries, Twyla! I just bought some fabric like that only it has little strawberries on it too and I'm using it in my button ball garlands!

    I didn't know you collected oil cans! Do you have a crush on the tin man? :)
