I just realized that most of my thrifty Thursday projects have been painting related.
Since I am sure not all of you are painters, or even have interest in painting, I will try to vary my future projects.
But, for today, I regret to tell you that this one is, yet again, another painting project.
I saw this print at Anthropologie and instantly fell in love.
{for those of you that do not paint, you can always just buy the print!}
I thought it would be fun to try and paint my own, so I set out to find a perfect canvas to paint on.
This is what I found at my local thrift shop:
I remember how much I loved this book when Savannah was a baby. Very sweet print, but not really what I need at this stage in my life.
So, I painted it with a coat of Annie Sloan pure white paint and let my creativity do the rest!
The end result is fun.
It's bright and cheery.
Yes, mine looks more like a paint by number but it's still fun.
What do you think?
Shall we do a before and after?

wow that's nice! did you do that from sight or did you trace onto canvas first?
I seriously like yours better! It is beautiful and I love deer so I am diggin' it big time!
Love it!
Oh, my goodness, how long did this take you?! I would love to know how you approached the design after priming your canvas!
Very lovely, Melaine. :)
I think it's pretty close to the original - WOW! And I don't mind that it looks a little color by number. Love all your projects - just wish I had more time to play along.

Wow. I am really impressed!
That's beautiful! Seriously - that is amazing! I can't believe you just up and painted that. How did you frame it?
That is amazing! I actually like yours better! Can we get a tutorial on this one? How did you trace the deer and then transfer it onto the new canvas?
Very impressive artistic skills you have! I too would love to know some tips.
What a great job you did! I love it.

that painting is amazing. seriously.
WHAT!? That's incredible. It actually would make a great paint by number project! Totally stunning, Melaine, I love it :)
WOW! Great job! I'm wondering too--how long did this take you? Are you a natural painter or what!?
Hi Melaine, always luv your posts...just wanted to let you know I used one of your blog pics on my blog for inspiration, but I made sure I included a back link to you. Hope you don't mind. Here is the link if you want to take a look
