Just Some Whimsy

I often photograph my art before sealing it to avoid any glare. I am told that when someone sees my work in real life, the colours appear much brighter and the texture is more pronounced. It’s hard to capture it all in a photograph. While I was sealing Wildflower Whimsy, I was reminded of how many times I had painted different flowers to get just the right ones I wanted to express with this piece. I was reminded that painting larger flowers for larger pieces is harder for me than when I am creating for smaller works, and I was reminded of how I wanted to convey the joy I was feeling in that moment.

This piece in real life is so darn cheerful, and it makes me smile every time I look at it. I can see it in many different styles of rooms, from an office space, perhaps a counseling office, or in an entryway. I could also look wonderful in a living room or even a child’s bedroom. SO many options to choose from.
