I think I've had it for a few years. We were living in our old house when I bought it. $4. That is how much I paid for it. It sat in the basement waiting for my vision for it to become clear. It took a little while.
I need art for my living room. So this painting came to mind. At one time I thought I wanted to make it into a chalkboard. But I already have my chalkboard made.
I also thought about making a deer stencil or sketch and painting it. Something similar to this-
Even though it is really trendy right now, deer have no significance in my life. My husband isn't a hunter and neither is anyone in my family. So that didn't seem a good fit.
I wanted something that was personal. Something that brought joy but was a challenge also.
A Bible verse.
Since the artwork is a water scene I thought about a corresponding verse. But in the end I went with Proverbs 4:23.
Now, don't go thinking that I am super creative because this was copied from Pinterest. I drew it on with chalk first and then white paint.
I'm excited to hang it up. It is going above the couch. Now I just need to figure out what to do about the air intake vent on that wall!
There's got to be a way to make it less noticeable.
What do you think?
