NATURE MAGNETS: ACRYLIC AND WOOD



This was just a little bit of a project...I took bits of wood and painted on them.  They are 1"x2".  I tried to do the sunflower with a bit of Van Gogh twist, but my brush wasn't quite the right size.  The butterfly was freehand, not trying to be realistic at all.  I just loved the colors together.  I sprayed some varnish over them when dry, and put a magnet on the backs.  They brighten up the kitchen...if I were to do it over again, I would do a bit more planning ahead, but for a fun 10 minute play day it wasn't a bad effort!  Some days when I feel low, I want lots and lots of pure color to brighten things up a bit! I felt much better afterwards...art therapy is definitely a useful field to go into!
