My son and his business partner have recently opened a business blending and selling speciality lattes and they are known as Blendsmiths and this is how they introduced the new addition to the Blendsmith's family
I had decided to do a little bit of artwork for the nursery and as my daughter in law comes originally from South Africa and her parents from Zimbabwe, I thought an African animal theme would be appropriate. I found 3 images on Paint my Photo which I felt would be suitable and in the end as I loved them all and couldn't decide which to paint, I did all 3 and framed them vertically as a triptych.
As I wanted them to be a series and framed together I decided to use the same palette for all 3...this is a very useful tool to create unity within a body of work (we might normally think of unity being within a single painting but for different paintings to be perceived as being related it also works) and in this case the choice of subject matter also holds the series together.

Although I had completed the paintings in plenty of time...the early arrival caught me out and there was a mad frantic rush to get them framed ready for the baby coming home!!
This was most truly a labour of love not only for my grandson but also for my son and daughter in law and I hope they like them as much as I loved doing them!!
what a lucky little man Fletcher is he chose his family well I hope the beautiful paintings bring him and his mum and dad much please every time they walk into his room and know that they were painted with such love and care - beautiful gift that he will have all his life and probably his children will get to enjoy them as well xx
