The canvases below were painted quite a while ago as a commission which was a direct result of being seen at a Craft Fair, a lady seen some of my work and wanted a Name Canvas for her little boy but wanted a different canvas for each letter of his name, she also requested a lion face and a monkey face painted in orange and yellow on 2 more canvases, so 7 canvases in all. I emailed my ideas across to her and this is the set she chose.
Isn't technology great for this sort of thing, at one time I would had to set up a meeting or post via the pigeon and the whole process would of taken weeks, now things are more instant.

The stem of the leaves running through the painting are done as a continuous line

Each canvas measures 8 x 8inches with a deep edge and the Lion and the Monkey can be placed at either the beginning or the end of the set.

How lovely they are! The finished set looks soooo good. I bet Lucas and his mum were very pleased with them. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant and will look good in a child's bedroom. Love the oriental style lettering.
ReplyDeleteThese are fab! I totally agree about technology and commissions. I often send pictures and sketches out, and people send me photos too, to incorporate something into a design (pets, caravans, you name it!). It makes life so much easier.
ReplyDeleteJan they are lovely canvases, and what a fab way of spelling out the little boy's name :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, I feel a bit lonely out there sometimes:)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely happy canvases, lucky boy.
I love the fact that this looks so jolly... I know that is a really old fashioned word but the group makes me smile so much and feel really happy... just the way I used to feel curled up with Enid Blyton :)
ReplyDeleteLucas is going to be one very happy child. It looks fantastic, I particularly like the cheeky face on the monkey. x
ReplyDeleteThat is so charming! I love both the monkey AND the lion! You have such a knack for making them cute and with personality just leaping off the canvas. Bravo! I know my boys would have loved it.
ReplyDeleteJan, this is amazing! I love the font you have used and the vine flowing across looks fab. Great work!

Fantastic canvases so bright and funky.
ReplyDeleteWow Jan these are gorgeous! Mich x
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I like the cheeky grin the lion seems to have. Quite clever to paint this so the lion and monkey are interchangable.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic. So clever!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely!
