I've been away from the easel for far too long. (Sometimes real-life creeps in and takes over all the creative space on the calendar.) It felt so good to sit back down in front of a big blank canvas.
This image might look familiar, but the first versions were small enough to hold in your hand at just 6"x 12".
This time I super-sized it!
It also has a completely different vibe with its muted color palette.
(How about all those leaves behind me! Hello, Autumn!)
This painting was done on request of my daughter-in-law and will hang in our little Margo's room. She'll arrive in a few short weeks and will have something pretty waiting for her above her crib.
Three years ago, her brother got a fun dinosaur painting on 5 big canvases.
Last year, her sister got a sweet animal triptych for her nursery.
Now, Margo will have pretty flowers in bottles to look at on her wall. (To tell the truth, I wouldn't mind having this one on my own wall!)

So fun to see the painting finished! Autumn really came in, didn't it?! Did you have all the rain and storms there?
ReplyDeleteIt takes a while to decide that when it's time for the final paint stroke on a big one with so many parts.
DeleteWe've had every weather in the last couple of weeks... hot/cold, windy/still, rainy/sunny.
Beautiful! Gave me a little chuckle too...your idea of a muted palette is quite different from mine...lol!
ReplyDeleteGrin... You're right... it's just a shade more muted than the originals.
DeleteThis painting is so delightful, that is the word that comes to mind when I see it. How nice to be able to commission a painting from grandma!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it delightful! Some people have such clever ideas. I love that I'll see it when I visit.
