Quick Art Project

I have a quick project for you. 
I wanted a small floral with late summer flowers. 

 
"Smitten with Sunflowers" is my moniker these days. 
I tried my hand at a small watercolor.


Not in love. 

I came across a print while cleaning out a closet. 


These flowers of the month were super popular prints. 
I'd collected quite a few of them from thrift stores. 


They were widely copied and ended up being seen everywhere. 
I was over it but I thought I could reuse a section of the floral to create a late summer print.


There were a couple of different frames in the garage to choose from.
This little black one with the gold is cute. 
It is about 4 by 6. 
Horizontal looked the best to me. 



This was cardboard and needed to be cut with a razor blade knife.


Working quickly prevented a "DIYer in a hot garage" sort of medical emergency. 


It was of utmost importance that we have a little print here by the sink in the powder room. 


I was too lazy to walk into the kitchen and get a hammer to pull out a nail that was stuck in the wall but not too lazy to create this new piece from an old print and risk a hot garage incident. 


The other side of the sink got a candle, some silk flowers in a mason jar and a new bar of soap. 



The flowers appear to be made out of microfiber.
It's my favorite type of faux. 




Have you ever cropped art before?
Have a great day.
