This name makes me think of that Billy Idol song "Mony Mony"....I don't know why, but it does! Hence, the title of this post! I just finished this painting for Romi, who I don't know but I did know her momma growing up. She was my best friend's aunt Marcy. Now she has a daughter named Romi who just turned 11, and I was asked to paint something for her bedroom that she just had redone. I got a strip of fabric, which I didn't take a picture of, but it was the black and white damask-ish pattern that you see in the middle section. Really cute. I was asked to be creative - and I can do that! The other colors in the room are green and bubblegum pink. I have to say, I really love how this one turned out. May be one of my favorite ones to date.
Some funky pink and black zebra print for the border
Instead of a straight edged border, I did a fancier one. I accented with a little gold to make it stand out.
Just love that black and white pattern. I am asked regularly if I free hand everything on my paintings, and yes I do. I don't use stencils or tracing paper or anything like that. I just look at it and try my best to reproduce it on the canvas. Same with fonts. I print them out onto a piece of paper, and then write them out much bigger on canvas.
A different angle
I love this girl's name. It's cute and short. This is the only green in the painting. I really hope this suits Romi's new room!
