Art Inspiration... Something to Try Creating.

28 March 2011

Another inspiration from Apartment Therapy.

I really love modern art, and I am not talking about the Andy Warhol painting in this particular image. What caught my eye in this picture in that art in the background...

(sorry about the quality, I just cropped it so you could see what I am talking about)

I love this piece, I am not sure what it is, but I am thinking gold leaf, or leafing paint, and old rustic wood. Could also be metal, but I like the wood idea.

Is this a piece that you would like, or do you hate the style? Inquiring minds want to know!

gertie @ The Old Block House, March 28, 2011 at 12:34 PM: You can do this! It looks like a 2x10 or 2x12 cut in half then fastened together.
Dre, March 28, 2011 at 12:45 PM: The artwork in the back immediately stuck out to me too, even before I read your post! It's phenomenal!
Mare, March 28, 2011 at 12:58 PM: I love it! I agree it's probably a 2x12. It almost looks like the edges are curled like aged paper. Awesome.
Celeste, March 28, 2011 at 1:09 PM: It looks like the painting would have a really neat texture!
The Yellow Cape Cod, March 28, 2011 at 2:03 PM: I love it. I bet there is a story behind it which intrigues me and makes me love it even more.
Rita's Recipes, March 28, 2011 at 3:03 PM: That's the first thing that caught my eye! I'm glad that's what you're talking about. It looks like a reclaimed piece of wood to start.
Cheers!
Rita
Just this... Alice, March 28, 2011 at 4:20 PM: I love the art piece and it just has to be 2 pieces of wood joined together is my thought. Perhaps I'm wrong but I love it no matter what it is made of, and would love to see a tutorial on how to make it.
Barbara, March 28, 2011 at 4:23 PM: I think it's a worn out metal sign.
LightheartedinTexas, March 28, 2011 at 5:01 PM: I would hang this piece of art in a heart beat!
Go for it...and then share the details, please. :)
The Clay Trowel, March 30, 2011 at 12:21 PM: I am such a sucker for ANYTHING that looks aged and tells a story. I love that piece of wood - maybe I'll try to re-create it - if I do I'll send it your way! :-)
