I’m always in search of constructive ideas to keep my kids busy during summer vacations. One of those days I painted the canvases and gave a paper to paint on along with me.

Here’s what he came up with:

I thought that piece of artwork was fantastic. I framed and hung it in our living room.

It was looking way to dull on the walls. So, instead of choosing shades of the dominating color in the room. I decided to work with the accent colors I have in this room. Which I’ll be sharing later on! I came up with this:

I thought about various ideas for days. From using vinyl to shadow boxes, writing quotes to decoupaging photos. From using patterns like honeycomb to herringbone. Honestly, what not!

Behold my geometric painting wall art “Pattern”. Who would have thought I’ll find inspiration at foot! I then did the simplest thing ever to settle the canvas to match my space.

Measured and divide the canvas into a square grid. I found that it comprises of twelve 3″ x 3″ squares.

Cut two 12″ x 12″ sketch papers into 1″ wide and 3″ long strips using decorative edge scissors.

Placed the strips on the canvas. Moving them around and putting them where ever they look best. I settled for a geometric pattern/ design.

With the help of mod podge, decoupaged the strips on the canvas.

Brushed a coat of mod podge on the top to seal the paper on the canvas as well.

And that’s about it all.
