Flying Putti overhead

 

Have angels flying overhead.


A few life-sized stencils and a little paint is all you need.





These were painted  "on the ground" and then attached to the ceiling.





Never pass up a new building site without asking for permission to "harvest" a few drywall pieces.





I stenciled Putti onto dry wall slabs,  and freehand painted additional garlands and flowers.





The edges are broken off and the entire piece is  "aged" with furniture stain.





I wanted to give the impression that the painted panels were rescued from a historic site.

To begin with, the idea was to temporarily attach panels to the ceiling in order to determine spacing. 





I was then going to paint a blue sky and Putti onto a fabric canvas and attach it to the ceiling.





For now I explain, if asked, that my Putti were broken away from an ancient Fresco.

Hope you have a wonderful week, 
Gina

    1. Dear Lorrie,
      Thank you for your very nice compliment. I'm already so jealous of your pretty flowers you still have growing in your garden.

    1. Dear Mary,
      It was so much fun having you visit us in this little corner of the world. Now we all must think positive thoughts so that we can soon travel again and next time maybe even across the big ocean.
