Into The Woods, upcycled vintage painting

Into The Woods by Heather Castles
Mixed media on vintage canvas
2x4 ft canvas in 54x31 inch vintage frame

This path through the trees was the perfect setting for a whole herd of ladybugs! It was so enjoyable painting these, imaging ladybugs the size of sheep. (I would totally want one as a pet, can you imagine riding a giant ladybug?!)

This vintage artwork came to me with two massive rips in the canvas which I patched and touched up to camouflage the repair. I love taking old pieces like this, repairing them, and then giving them a second life with something fun!
