A Summer Canvass


Quite a big piece for me. I started this canvass quite a while ago and can't remember exactly how I did it - I know there is paint, beeswax and probably some texture paste on there. To create that summer feel I added butterflies and summer flowers. My flowers are tattered florals, made into tea roses and dipped in the melt pot - I then painted them as I wanted to change their colours.
I would like to enter:


Thanks for looking
