Family Room Canvas Paintings

I needed some pictures to hang in my family/living room but pictures and paintings are pretty pricey. Plus I have some pretty colorful and unique accent pillows and I thought it would be cool to match them to the paintings somehow.

One night I got some canvas covered frames, paint, brushes, and an idea. I took my pillows and made a photocopy of the main designs on them. I cut out the main shapes I wanted and traced those main shapes onto the canvas. I then filled the shapes in and the space around with whatever designs I felt like. I used my little brothers fine paint brushes that he uses for his model planes. I was going to leave it black and white but when I added the color to the main shapes it added so much. They turned out fantastic and they match my pillows exactly. Love them!

The set up in my family room with the accent pillows I based the paintings off of.

I am so happy with how they turned out!
