Rustic Heart Painting

I have been having a lot of fun painting with wood scraps on pieces of plywood. My latest painting was an easy, colorful, rustic heart.

I start with a piece of plywood. I had several of these that someone gave me.

I use blocks of wood to apply my paint, using craft paints and latex, and chalk paint (i.e. anything I have). I chose turquoise and white for the background.

I then painted the heart with layers of paint, using wood scraps. I lightly sketched the heart out, but didn't completely follow that because I didn't want it perfect.

I tarted with dark blue, then green, yellow, and finally red.

A frame and some stain finished this art piece.

It sold two hours after I took it to my booth! 😏
