Mixed Media with Cottage Chic Charm
It's all in the Details
by Miriam Schulman
Yesterday, I talked about how I transformed two paintings. Emboldened by that success I looked around my studio and took two more paintings out of their stuffy frames and had some fun.
For these I also carried the motif to the sides. For the hen painting, I changed my boring black sides to a nice parchment cream and added English cottage roses. For the sheep painting, I painted the sides a bright yellow and added French country blue paisley. These whimsical touches mean not only do you not need a frame to display this canvas art but you really wouldn't want one!
Can't you picture these farm animal paintings in a country kitchen, a cottage chic living room or a romantic old fashioned nursery?With that decorating scheme in mind I went on a search on etsy to see what other cottage chic art and accessories I could find to complement this design aesthetic.
