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.

Thank you very much, John
I can’t think why I didn’t do this before. Aside from being proud of the end result, it was a lot of fun while doing it – very therapeutic.

To Sam,
I am considering buying an IMAC when I return to my UK home. Currently staying with my carers family in California. I have poor mobility due to a fall at work several years ago.
Notice Apple have recently doubled the RAM to 4 GB on their IMAC. They offer an upgrade of about £800 to 8 GB.
Many notebook/laptop PCs now offer 4 GB. So do you think I should request upgrade? Typed this on 1.6 MacBookAir. Easier for me to carry. Good machine.
Anyway take care and nice picture.
Colin
