Artwork for the bedroom

So our walls are in desperate need of artwork and pictures so I set out to create something for our bedroom. I found some old canvases in our office from when my fiancé was at art school. I was just messing around with some oops paints I bought from Home Depot, painting things that came to mind. I ended up with a cool tree. I then took some vinyl letters I got from staples for making posters and spelled out a song lyric from one of our favorite songs. Then I rolled some white paint over the whole thing. I peeled off the letters and decided it looked a little plain so I added some more paint and added another tree. When I paint its more about the process, the journey to the finished product, luckily I liked the finished product and it is hanging in our bedroom.

If you are not much of a painter, you could always buy a cheap painting from a thrift shop and add letters and some paint to create a similar effect.
