Ocean finds, water, magnifiers, and a little bit of glitter, liquid watercolor, and hand soap.

sweat, or tears, or the salt sea

"'Do you know a cure for me?' 'Why yes,' he said, 'I know a cure for everything. Salt water.' 'Salt water?' I asked him. 'Yes,' he said, 'in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea.'"

—from The Deluge at Norderney

by Karen Blixen, writing as Isak Dinesen

This photograph has hung in our bathroom(s) for fourteen years now; I like it (alot), but I was ready to change things up a little bit.

I found an oil-painted seascape on canvas at the Village and traced chalk letters onto it.

White acrylic paint to fill in the tracings.

Ready to display.

Other examples of quotations painted on thrifted canvases:

1. A Beautiful Mess
2. Style By Emily Henderson
3. Southern Belle Soul
4. Young House Love
5. Six2Eleven

By the way, didn't Karen Blixen have a crazy-interesting life? 

Any artwork change-ups going on in your spaces lately? Do tell!

Thanks for reading.
