a quick and easy upcycle on a hobby lobby picture

As I am moving everything back into our home…(you can read all about that RIGHT HERE), I am putting things back together in new ways. Some of it is still pretty much the same, but I have also shifted a bit on my style. While I love mixing old and new and would definitely say I have a very eclectic style, I tend to gravitate away from the overall farmhousey style. You will even see a little bit of what you may would call “abstract”…although not TOO far in that direction.

But…nevertheless, this little upcycle today is in the realm of the abstract!

I loved this canvas with white on white that I found at Hobby Lobby (it doesn’t really look like something they would have does it?!), but I felt like it needed a little something.

I felt like it needed RED LIPS!

That would surely be a simple, yet dramatic pop to this piece…don’t you agree?

I grabbed my cardinal crimson acrylic paint and got to work!

Talk about a 5 minute project, y’all! It was EASY PEASY!

I simply took my red paint and a very thin paint brush and brushed right along the lip outline…and BAM! What a fun difference!

This may not be your cup of tea, but I have to say….I am LOVING IT. It did exactly what I wanted it to do. It gave a sense of glamour and fun and color…all in one.
