i adore it! it was made for aileen treadwell and julie delmissier, of baby dream photography, in seattle. they do a lot of children and babies and make/sell headbands and yummy stuff like that. i was asked to make some bigger, fall colored flowers and this is what came out. i was thinking about headbands and pettys and sweet little babies.... <3 we named it 'juleen' which is a fine blend of julie and aileen's names..lol! i was also thinking about how funny life is....and here is why....i used to work at a florist and LOVED it. but you know how you look back at life and wonder what the whole purpose was for working there? well, now i know. i was painting and realized that i knew where to place flowers, because i felt like i was making an arrangement. i was painting an arrangement! the whole concept was really exciting to me!! so thank you, 'artistic floral' in newark, delaware for hiring me, long ago!and here is the second one:
this is 'beth', made for beth forester. i absolutely LOVE these colors together...its earthy, but bright and light all at the same time. the lime color is super pretty...its not obnoxious, but its like a warm lime sherbet color. and the yellows and browns...it just made me feel so happy painting it. beth seems like a happy person too, so im hoping that it fits her just right!! again, i did the whole 'florist experience' thing with this one. i got a kick out of being a floral designer all over again..lol :) i cant wait to see all of this pretty stuff behind a model. they will be available, and placed in the higher price category, because of all of the detail and time that goes into them. :) and thank you beth forester, julie delmissier and aileen treadwell for giving me a fun challenge or two!! <3
