"A" flower patch for Amelia
Over the summer I had the privilege of working on a 24 x 24" canvas that was modeled after my flowers are de'vine theme, but added some touches from the Penelope bedding line from Pottery Barn Kids. It turned out fantastic, so much so, that I had an additional order for that same painting came through right before Christmas.
Since I am a supporter of things handmade and unique items - while the flower alignment and some of those touches from the first painting I did are similar, I changed the background, some of the colors and the leaves - I wanted to make sure that while my new client was happy with the art piece I was doing, my original client still felt like she had a unique piece of art for her daughter's room. I am pleased to say that I think I accomplished that task.
My new order was from another mom at preschool who I happened to connect with on Facebook. I post all my paintings in an album there - so she was able to see what I've done. Melissa has three gorgeous girls, Maddie, who is Jon's age and they were in Kindergarten together, Ella, who is Drew's age and they go to the same preschool and have lunch bunch together and Amelia, who is about a year younger than Penny. Amelia has that same Penelope bedding from PBKids and Melissa wanted something to hang above her crib in her room. I am pleased to share with you little Miss Amelia's painting:


Pretty Little Hot Pink Bird
Nestled in the flowers
I love working with gerber daisies for a number of reasons. First off I love the flower they are such cheerful little plants, always seeming to smile. Second, they are fantastic petals to paint. The repetition, the shape, everything is just a pleasure to work with - so you will see more of them soon!
Melissa was very excited to get her painting and she was very happy with the outcome - I just know it looks great hanging above Amelia's bed. Thanks again for trusting me to do something for your beautiful baby girl!
There is more to come! I have several more paintings to post over the next week or so and I have a beautiful piece that I am just about done with to share in the weeks ahead. Take care and Thanks!

oh my goodness!! i love love love all the flowers, and the way the birds are kind of but not quite hidden in the flowers. kind of a treat to find them there. i am so torn between this and the next one as to what I'll order if my brother and sister-in-law (who are expecting baby #2 in the next week or so) have a little girl....!
I love these, Annie! The new girlie paintings are great... and those birdies are too sweet. =)
I love the pale yellow highlighting you did! it really makes the painting pop. Very impressive!
Love it! And no worries about it being "too similar". Still unique and original art by Penny Pickles!
