I Accidentally Bought the Wrong Canvas… And It Might Be My Next Painting!
Have you ever gone to the store for one thing and somehow left with something completely different?
That’s exactly what happened to me! I stopped by Hobby Lobby to pick up a replacement canvas for my next painting… but I accidentally grabbed one much larger than I intended.
After the initial surprise, I couldn’t help but laugh. Sometimes our best creative ideas begin with an unexpected detour.
While I was there, I also took a moment to reflect on my peony painting. It’s amazing to see how far it’s come. Every layer has brought more depth, color, and life to the canvas, and now it’s finally entering those last exciting stages before it’s complete.
As a multimedia artist, fashion designer, and leather worker, I’ve learned that creativity rarely follows a perfect plan—and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thank you for following along on this journey. Your encouragement means the world and allows me to continue sharing my passion for creating.
