Just finished a painting last week for a precious new baby girl who will make her debut in August! I love the name Laine Grace.....just precious. She will be joining 2 big sisters!! I have not ever met this mom, and have only spoken with her on the phone. This painting coordinates with the Harlington Bedding from Pottery Barn Kids. Lots of pinks, reds, and a hint of orange and turquoise. The request was made to focus on pink, red, and white! This one was another really big one- 2ft by 4ft!
The pictures of the overall completed canvas never turn out very well on a canvas this big. You can't really grasp what it looks like in person. The flowers were part of the bedding. The swirlies on the left and the dots in the frame were extra that I added in just because. I liked the extra character is gave the canvas!
The design wrapped around the wide edges of the canvas
I had to throw in a few dots of turquoise and orange just to bring out the color in the bedding! Nothing too much......just a smidge:)
I had a really hard time deciding on a color for the font on this one. I actually did the entire name in turquoise, only to stand back from it and not really like it! It just didn't go. So I went over it in red. It needed something more. Or different. So I tried going over it in the coralish pink color, and when I decided that wasn't quite right either, I went to wipe it off with a baby wipe and voila- I ended up with a really good highlight! I was pretty happy with this and so that's how the font became colored red with pink highlights. Rachel- I hope this looks good in the nursery and that it's exactly what you wanted!
