The Thin Blue Line

I made this to donate for a fundraiser for our local police department. 

Sun set

I made this from an upcycled canvas I picked up at Goodwill for $3.00.

Here is what it looked like before I started. 

I used my new acrylic paint marker to do the lettering.

The Missing Piece of Peace

My 7 year old daughter is the worst at taking care of her puzzles. I thought it would be fun to use some puzzle pieces instead of just throwing away the incomplete puzzles. 

I glued the pieces with modge podge onto this 8x10 stretched canvas.  Then I painted over everything with white acrylic paint a couple times. 

I didn't use any resource images. I wanted to draw a peaceful spot to go song with my piece and peace theme. 

I think I will do another painting like this because it was so much fun.

Audrey Hepburn

12 x 12 acrylic on stretched canvas 

I got this canvas at Goodwill.

Here is what it looked like before I started on it.

I thought it would be fun to keep the original intent and do an Audrey Hepburn painting.
