Well..sometimes you have to salvage your own stuff. I was happily painting fish this morning (on the smaller center piece), and I took it outside and sat it on the porch rail to see how I liked it thus far, and I no sooner turned around, and the damn thing went flopping to the floor. It split it right in half!! But, I liked my fish (you can't see it in this photo, but the two black areas have the fish drawn in, and it looks cool)...so, I decided I had to "fix" it. I mounted both pieces of the painting to a 12 x 12, added a rusted piece, stamped numbers on that, and painted polka dots on blue around the back. I kinda like the way it turned out!! Live Artfully!!

Oh those damn flopping fish!!! lol
Actually Suzan I really like it!! No one would have ever known it was not supposed to be that way.
Love it, love it!!
Hi Susan, I think it adds depth to the painting and more interest than a flat painting. I took my beautiful Halloween tea set out the other day and thought of you. I also quit ZNE but I'm still on Creative Souls.
I have to get my blog going as soon as I'm all done with my Thyroid cancer surgery in Sept. This has been my year of surgeries and I can't wait till I can create again.
You keep up the great work and the happy mistakes!!!
Hugs

I like it this way too-it looks pretty cool;)
i think it looks fabulous too!!!
really though! who would have thought the canvas would break!
wonderful wonderful piece
that's the true soul of creativity at work - take what life gives you and make the most of it - you did exactly that - and it looks fabulous.
Fabulous work with the salvaging! It's now a political piece...a comment on overfishing....the reduction of fish to a commodity...you're so clever!
yes, it's great! Sometimes accidents turn out better than what we originally intended.
Happy accident! I think it has given this already fun piece a wonderful story and even more character.
I quite like it too. Serendipity...
That is so creative and seems like it was meant to be - it looks so perfect now! Love it!! :) Silke
I like it :) Especially the polka dots. By the way, I just noticed that I am on your blog roll...super cool! Thanks! Hugs and best wishes to you :)
What a happy accident...looks like it was planned that way...Love it!!!
I think it turned out better now that it's broken! Awesome piece!!
The fun thing with art is you can call it a 'design style change' verses a boo-boo! I'd say this is a happy accident for sure. It looks great!

Very nice save!! It looks perfect now!
I think it looks so cool and I hate to say it, but the crack shoulda been there from the beginning, lol!!!
BTW...I think that 30 of your hits a month are from me coming back to read the tutorials and things that you have posted. Thank you so much for being a generous and conscientious blogger! Hugs, gina
I like it too. The 2 sides add interest.
You rebound quick, I would have stomped my feet, cried, cussed and then started over (maybe)..lol. But you turned lemons into beautiful lemonade with your new piece!
