My living room has a large wall, and I wanted something substantial for a focal point. I looked at Ikea, but I did not want to pay that much for something that people would probably recognize to be be from there...
Soo I took matters into my own hands. When you go to Home Depot, and other home improvements stores I assume, they have wood scraps that you can have for free. They will even cut it down for you. I took one home and went crazy, Jackson Pollock style on it. I used paint that I already had and mixed some white with the green to make different tones, and some red with black. I would stand out in the wind and let the paint fly around and put thick amounts of the dark red and tipped the wood so that it ran... It was fun and now I have a huge original piece of art that you can see the texture...
I got on a role and did a few more for some family members.
These are just a few of the ones that I did. You can't beat the price and you don't really need much (or any talent really). I tried to sell them on etsy but I was really lazy about it, some family have them in there homes.
