How 'Bout Them Apples


Here's my mantle, all decked out for autumn. At first it was just the plants and the pumpkins. Then last night I decided it needed something more.


I got this canvas at the thrift store for a dollar, it already had the green rectangle and dark red border. I added the apples and leaves for a slightly abstract painting. I know I'm not much of an interior decorator, nor am I an experienced painter, but I really like how the painting, and the whole setup, turned out.

Amen, Michelle. Super cute! And you did great with the apple look...I would spend hours trying to perfect it and end up ruining it. You did awesome!

I know what you mean, Melinda. I had to psych myself up to paint it quickly and not be a perfectionist. I knew that if I thought too hard about it or tried to fix any little imperfections it would end up horrible. I forced myself to only spend about a minute on each apple. Any resemblance to an actual apple is pure luck!!
