"...we must choose between what is easy and what is right." ~ Dumbledore
These pictures are the beginning of an original painting I made for my nephew as one of his Christmas presents. I began by painting an abstract background. After the paint dried, I overlaid it with letter stickers in the quote above (one of his favorites) and covered the entire thing in a layer of white. When it was still damp, I peeled the stickers off. The vibrant colors came alive through the words of the quote. Sadly, I didn't get a picture of the final piece, so you'll have to imagine it. :) {I'll see if my sister can send me one to show you later}
What are you working on?
