I’ve been looking around for a canvas art print for my home office to brighten the place up, but everything felt so manufactured and common. I wanted something a little bit unique, something that wouldn’t be hanging on everyone else’s wall.

That’s when I decided to look at myself. What was stopping me from grabbing a blank canvas, some paints and my creativity? I’m quite handy in the art department when I put my mind to it The tools for the job cost me around £20. That’s for a canvas, a big box of acrylic paints and pack of 15 paintbrushes. I got down to it this afternoon and this is the result.

For my first time painting on canvas with acrylics I’ve got to say I’m pretty pleased with this. I shall be finding a suitable wall to hang it tomorrow. Now that I’ve mastered the technique, I rather have the taste for creating some more of my own artwork and it won’t all be Apple though I’m sure. But, I do think a favourite iPhone app logo on a black background would look quite striking. But which one? Stay tuned.
