Today's blogpost is dedicated to Mary Nasser's Blog Hop!
Mary Nasser designed some new
Map Stencils for
Stencil Girl Products aka (
Mary Beth Shaw) and she asked me join her blog hop with some other pretty amazing creatives. This blog hop is kind of a group creative party through these here internets where we are celebrating the birth of Mary's awesome Map Stencils that SHE designed. How awesome is that?! The best part is that if you make a comment, you get a chance to win a set of her stencils and one of the paintings I made with her stencil.
For this blog hop, I decided to make a simple abstracted landscape painting using Mary's map stencil,
Wood Icing texture paste and Golden Acrylics on 3/4" medium density fiberboard.

| Prepping the boards with gesso. |
 |
| Applying second layer of Wood Icing using Mary's Map Stencil. Isn't her stencil just lovely? |
 |
| Pulling stencil away. |
 |
| I added a little thread of texture with the Wood Icing and a small pallet knife. I also added two layers with Mary's Stencil, just to see what would happen. |
 |
| I added a thread of Wood Icing with a small pallet knife and I added some extra free form texture in the top half of the painting. |
 |
| Time for color! |
 |
| And we are finished! |
 |
| I made two so I could give one to one lucky commenter and so I could give one to Mary. |
Yep, that's what I said. If you make a comment here on my blog, I'll have my own drawing by Mary's same deadline and the lucky winner gets one of these 6"x6" paintings. The other painting is for you dear sweet Mary Nasser. Thank you for asking me to participate in this super awesome blog hop!
