In Private Collection
8"H x 10"W Oil on canvas board
This is the latest Daily Paintworks Challenge. Wrap up a present and paint it. Well, as it happens today is my birthday and on Tuesday afternoon a box arrived from my ex-sister-in-law. I opened the box and this lovely present was in it. So I painted the gift box along with the really beautiful card. The card has sparkles on it...I just love anything that sparkles. After a Thai dinner at my son's house tonight with my daughter-in-law and my adorable grandson, age three, we opened presents. In this box there was a beautiful little bird, actually about life size and a wonderful candle with a bird, nest and flowers reverse painted on the glass. Two additions to my collection for future paintings. Although I don't get to see my sister-in-law much anymore, I always think of her fondly and remember the good times we had together when we were as close as true sisters.
Wow...talk about timing, Gloria! Belated happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteLove the painting. Especially the diaphanous ribbon so perfectly done.
