Can’t remodel yet? -Add some pizzazz with a mural By Barbara Harms http://www.etsy.com/shop/AsianAerAnsQuiilts/How many of us would just like a change in a certain room? Maybe it’s your kitchen, dining room or bedroom that’s looking tired? You can’t fork out the bucks to remodel right now, but want a change, so now what?
How about a mural? It’s an inexpensive do it yourself project. It can make a big bang for your buck as well. You can paint it yourself, if you have the art gene. Or if not, try stencils, they’re not that hard to do , and if you look around online, there are some very pretty ones available. Acrylic paints are a bargain, easy to use and only water clean up. Here are a few shots of this mural to spark your own creative juices. Have some fun, if you don’t like it, paint right over it, it’s no big deal.
You may have noted various different fruit on the same vine, it’s called poetic licence!
About Myself & My Approach
Art has always played a role in my life, in one form or another. by my teens I had narrowed my focus to painting. I decided I was going to become a serious painter. I joined the Las Vegas Artist's Guild at 15, the youngest member at that time. I was completely out of place, I tried to go unnoticed, a mute fly on the wall, with a big smile pasted on my face.
I've continued to paint most of my life.
After a move to Oregon years later, I was introduced to quilting and fell in love.
I was introduced to quilting & fell in love.
In time I missed the creative freedom painting made possible.
Then I discovered mixed media fiber art, I was home.
MY APPROACH TO ART
It's the creative process that holds the greatest attraction for me. Starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, I follow where that leads. There are often many changes and adjustments along the way. The result can often be surprizing.
My approach is an instinctual one. Generally, I do little pre-planning. I make creative decisions, choices, directions as they present themselves.
This approach can lead to quite a few changes in the direction.
I love that element of surprize!
Sometimes I have one that I especially like, I can't wait to show someone.
At that moment l feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand, excited to show Mom. At those times. I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.
I’ve had some of my work published in several magazines. which is exciting. But the most gratifying thing is having clients be really happy with their purchased art quilt.
