Staging: Hi ho, Silver! (metallic paint)

The thing I love about painting with metallics is the way the finished painting changes appearance as the light changes throughout the day. I wound up hanging this one in the bedroom just so I can watch all of the different appearances it takes on. Silver is by far my favorite.
A simple metallic painted canvas is also a great way to scatter light around a dark room for staging or decorating. You can get a large piece of "artwork" for next to nothing by buying a used canvas at a thrift store and painting it with craft paint or a metallic spray paint. Serious budget art, with a serious impact--no cat required!
