I've had this idea in my head for a while - a large canvas of a tree with all four seasons. This canvas is pretty big - not huge my any means, but it's 18x24, so much larger than what I'm use to working with. I started with the background, creating quadrants to represent Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Then I added texture with a napkin. The tree is a hot glue then painted! The leaves are paper - using both a Martha Stewart punch and a Sizzix die (Prima). The fall leaves are from Prima's Sunrise Sunset collection, and the green leaves are Authentique's Peaceful collection. The cherry blossoms are from my stash - probably dollar store, can't remember. The snow is modeling paste from Liquitex and glitter (although you can't see it in the photo).
I love how it turned out - one of the few times where what was in my head actually came out on my page/canvas. I showed my husband and he said to me that he wants to hang it on the wall in the living room ... I near cried - he likes it that much, as much as I do!
So, let me know what you think - this is me being brave - doing a BIG canvas!
Leave a comment - they make my day!!
