'Cherry Blossom Owls'

Title: 'Cherry Blossom Owls'

Size: 1m x 80cm

Date: 21 July 2010

83 hand cut and individually painted & glued cherry blossoms and two snug owls - a 'mamma' and her little baby, are leaving my studio this Friday. Before the painting makes its way into the nursery of this lovely Client's soon-to-be-born daughter, it is to be framed & glassed.

Needless to say, a lot of work went into this painting and I am so eager to hand it over. It was a pleasure to complete this order & I can't wait to see it hanging above the cot in its lovely harbour-side nursery in Sydney.

'Ava's Pink Owls'

Having lived with these pretty owls for a little while now, I am both happy and sad to see them fly off to their new home. It is always so exciting to see them in their intended environment and also to be part of the joy of the actual hand-over. However having been their 'mother' since the first brush stroke it is also hard to see them leave my 'studio nest'. Each painting becomes such a part of me & life.

Date: 29 April, 2010

Size: 1.2m x 1m

The bright colour palette was set in harmony with Ava's room and I was happy to be able to incorporate the curtain fabric as part of the foliage in the actual painting. For the rest of the leaves I used Japanese rice paper (the pale pink) and a stunning cerise 'flocked paper' (wonderful texture). 
The Swedish wallpaper on Ava's walls is from 'Sandbergs Tapeter' and served as my inspiration for the soft curvy line-work.

The painting is being handed over today - right after I finish this post in fact, and I am hoping that Ava and her family will be happy with the result. I look forward to sharing pictures of the painting after it has been framed and hung.

Have a great day all!
