Natures Canvas Original Art~ ~ Magic Brush Studio~


Tree Fungus Art or what I call " NATURE'S CANVAS" is one of my favorite things to paint on. They are so unique and no two are ever alike. I try to use the shape of the piece to determine what I will paint on it.
I often use the lumps and bumps that are common on these pieces to create rocks, trees, Jack-o-lanterns, etc.
I try to leave as much of the natural wood showing as possible, as I think this only adds to the beauty of the piece. They offer a very dimensional surface to paint on. Some are free standing and some are for wall decoration.
Shown here is an original painting on Natures Canvas titled:
'The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow' by ~Shirley Olsen of Magic Brush Studio~
