I have to say first off that these pictures are HORRIBLE!! I sent these home with my friend last night and then realized I hadn't taken pictures of them yet, and didn't want them going out the door without taking them, so I did a quick (really bad) job!! Yikes! They don't accurately show color, and some are with the flash and some without, but you'll get the idea. One of my friends in getting married in a few weeks, and she asked me if I would do 12x12 paintings for each of her bridesmaids. They don't know they're getting them. She asked them each what colors they had in their homes, and told me a little about their personalities/style. Other than that, I just had free reign to do whatever I wanted. I know a few of the girls, but the rest I've never met. I love how they turned out. I hope they'll be pleasantly surprised when Angie gives them as gifts!
For this one I was told robin's egg blue and olive green. The color is horrible here, but the diamond pattern is olive and cream, the outside color is blue, and the frame is gold. Font is in chocolate brown.
This one is for a young bridesmaid. She told me purple and zebra, so that's what she got!
This one is for her sweet sister, Amy. Salmon color for the outside, khaki and cream stripes (that I did horizontal this time and really like!!) and chocolate brown font. I accented the curvy khaki frame with some gold.
This one's for her sister-in-law. She told me Brittany's house is very modern, with blacks, whites, and silver and copper. I went with the copper. Love how this one turned out. Very classic.
I don't know this bridesmaid, other than she likes red and gold! Tried a new pattern for the background and absolutely love it! I also really like the font on this one, which is in black paint.
In fact, I liked that pattern so much I used in on this one! I know this sweet bridesmaid. I've done a painting for her daughter's room before! She has rusty orange, sage, and other earthy colors in her living room, so I went with those. The font is in copper, with a dark chocolate curvy border. The outside is very sagey, even though it looks sea-foamy here.
On this one I was told robin's egg blue, red, and khaki. The font is in dark red.
This was the last one I did. I had actually finished it, and hated it so much I trashed it and started over again! And I'm glad I did. I love how this one turned out. She likes red and gold, and that's all I knew. Simple, but really pretty font. I love it!
