My mother has really eclectic taste in art. She acquired three fairly large, colorful paintings from a local artist and although they are really fun to look at, they don't really go with the rest of the decor in her house.
About 6 months ago she asked me to make her a painting for her newly remodeled diningroom, but I never got around to it until now.
I chose to make her 2 ft x 3 ft painting in a 4 part canvas series, different sizes but put together they make one large painting. She can eventually hang them together as a series, or hang them separately throughout her house.
I asked her what palatte she wanted (I like to work in a color theme), and she asked me to match the colors in her funky paintings, which is pretty much every primary color and every other bright color under the rainbow). I did the best I could, I think it will match well and will tie all of her paintings in every room, together.
I used acrylic paint on gessoed canvas. This took me from sketch stage, to paint stage, to lining stage, to the end about 2 weeks (1 full weekend and a couple of hours every night).
I haven't given it to her yet, but I know she will love it. It's very detaailed and there is something to look at in every part of the painting.
Enjoy!
