New Nursery Painting – "Today you are You…"
I just finished this new nursery painting yesterday. This original piece was hand-painted in acrylic on 1/8” hardboard and embellished using rhinestones. It has a distressed blue, green, pink and white background. The antique white frame has been hand-painted with pink flourishing detail. It features a quote by Dr. Seuss that I love to tell my daughter:
All things girly….
Just finished framing this new painting for a little baby girl named Riley. Girls are so easy to paint for…..pinks and greens plus a birdie and some polka dots. I love all things girly. There are lots of little goodies in the painting if you look closely: Flower-shaped buttons, rhinestones, butterfly buttons with hand-stitched bodies and antennae. The mother I made this for received the painting as a gift at a baby shower. The bedding in her nursery is white with pink, brown, green polka dots and has some stripes in the same colors. Take a look at the Katie Bedding Collection from Pottery Barn Kids. Every time I paint one of these little nursery paintings I realize just how much I love to make things that I hope will make others feel happy.
