It has been my experience so far that the last strokes on a painting can make or break it! This painting was actually done as what I refer to as a waste canvas, you know when you use leftover paint to create another painting. It had actually been sitting in my barn for over a…

Bev is a master at multiple images or camouflage art. Check her out at https://www.bevdoolittle.net to see her beautiful art. Here is…
