This weeks new theme is Tree Hugger.
I love taking a blank canvas and altering it to achieve something new.
I read a quote online by Minnie Aumonier that I re-worded slightly to say, "There is always Music amongst the trees, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it."
Which inspired this 11x14 canvas. You can click on it to see a larger version.
I had this vision of tree limbs reaching down to tenderly embrace a heart.
The tree trunk and limbs are made of tissue paper and walnut stain distress paint, and the bushy leaves is made from Moss I bought at Michael's.
The picture doesn't do it justice. The piece is full of depth, texture, and rich colors.
This giveaway is now closed.
