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.

Fun Flowers Are Cheery

Ahhh, the joy of having flowers you don’t need to water, and they will remain beautiful all year round. You may need to dust the top of the art now and again, but it will continue to bring joy to the room in which it hangs.

I created this series from flowers I painted, tore out, and collaged in a whimsical way to showcase joyfulness and a playful spirit.

These three small works are great all together or on their own. Each can stand in a bookcase or be hung on a wall. Adding to or creating a gallery wall with this collection would be such a fun display of beauty.
