Art Mistake Turned Good

Art mistakes…we’ve all done it.
Have you ever created something that you just didn’t like? You stared at what you created and just wanted to throw it in the garbage😔
That’s how I felt, my idea for this canvas painting didn’t turn out how I expected and was sucking the creative energy out of me. As I was going through it, in my mind I was seeing it as a failed experiment, but took the opportunity to keep pushing forward and searched on Pinterest for inspiration.

And, I birthed…”Turquoise Garden” inspired by similar artwork I’ve seen on Pinterest using Gold Leaf. It’s not exactly my style, but it will work😊
This is an 18x24 mixed media acrylic painting. Materials used: white gesso, acrylic paint, and gold leaf.
