My Hand At Painting on Canvas

First I gathered things I would need: canvas, paint, brushes, bottle cap, pen, styro plate.

I painted 2 of canvas pieces Red and one Green. My oldest son came over in the middle of this so I had to stop for a while.
 
After my son left, he is a truck driver and is now on his way to Michigan, I got started back on my project.  I took a cap off a Dt. Mt. Dew bottle to make an impression of a circle on my canvas in the coordinating green paint.
 
It looked like this:
 
The I wanted to put dots around my circle just for some whimsy so I took a sharpie and used the top of the lid for the dots.  Yes I do need a manicure, maybe I can get around to that tomorrow.
 
After doing lots of little dots, it looked like this:
 
I did this on both red canvas pieces.  Now I want to fill in my circles. So I just started coloring with the paint brush inside my circles.  I like the not so perfect circles and placement so it doesn't look like I have stamped it on.

On the green canvas I put swirls and squiggles with gold paint and dry brushed the top then went back with red paint swirls and squiggles.
It ain't the prettiest thing in the world but I think I am going to like it when I get done.  Now I am letting everything dry. Back in a while.
