Dane

I recently finished this painting for a friend from childhood. Dane is her second child, and he just came into the world last week! Welcome, baby Dane! Her bedding was a mixture of different fabrics, each tied together with these colors. This is going on a wall that is green and white striped, so I wanted to make the main color the dark blue. This one was pretty detailed!

Her mom requested the scripture to be somewhere on there. I wasn't sure how I was going to make room for it with all of that pattern, but ended up using the vines as a cut-off point to leave the bottom open for lettering.

Here's some of the fabric that I went off of

The stripes on the canvas were not matched to the fabric. The rest of the pattern on the canvas pretty much matched what the fabric looked like, so I wanted to vary it up a little. I hope Ashli and Dane are enjoying his precious nursery!
