Pearly Poppy

I was drooling over a lovely painting in a shop this week and this is what my DH painted for me, this is his version of it!  When he showed me my jaw nearly hit the floor as it is just gorgeous!  The photo doesnt show the texture but you can just about see that it is pearlised.  It is on a chocolate background and will be in our bedroom once it is decorated in a few weeks time.  I love paintings that you can feel even though Steve just doesn't 'get it' so for him to make me one just the way I like them, I am tickled pink!
You can see the artist peeping from behind it!
I think I should start to post a few of his paintings as they are throughout the house and I love them.

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you all enjoy a lovely time whatever you are doing.
Thanks for looking

It's beautiful Keryn - wonderful colour and texture. I am just decorating at the moment...as always as much paint on me as the walls - shouldn't be left in charge of a roller! Have a great Easter. Cheers Claire x

Hi Keryn, yes you can use white emulsion for the layer on layer technique. I have used Gesso, but I think the emulsion will do a similar job. Give it a whirl ! Sue C x

OMG ... how romantic, never mind how talented! Its absolutely gorgeous and would look better in my bedroom i'm sure and my rooms decorated ready LOL! Would love to see more of his fab creations.

Regarding the card recycling ... i can't bear for anyone to throw one my cards away after i've spent some much time on them, so if their not gonna keep em i ask for them back and reuse them by just changing the sentiment and verse. Then if the next person who gets it wants to throw it away for some reason it doesn't seem to matter LOL!

Hugs Jillix
