Warmth on the wall

19/11/2007

I need something on my wall.

I went about it the wrong way. Being officially trained and issued with a certificate of authenticity I am officially an illustrator. So I thought..why not make something myself to adorn my rather plain wall..why not indeed!

The day of canvas painting didn’t go too well. The paint annoyed me for drying too slowly, the weather annoyed me for not being foggy enough, and my tummy annoyed me by being hungry. Canvas day ended with me throwing my canvas into a river…not upon my wall as originally intended.

So to find something to go one my wall, nothing too well known, It would be hell to have people come round and say ‘ oh isnt that a turner, or a dali, or some other overknown overseen overwuly on my wall’ (see a previous post on the matter of having a fav trendy artist) So I began randomly searching around for something, when Natasha Wescoat popped up!

Lovely Im sure you will agree!?

Full of yummy christmas warmth, imagine framed in a lovely black chunky frame above a roaring fire, a brandy in ones hand, reading a lovely book, a wet mucky puppy asleep at your feet. Warm bright colours, dreams, winds, lonely fields and happy trees.

Aye indeed those arty ones amungst you may say they are rather similar to Gustav Klimt, especialy this one:

But I like them much better, very much like my previous peter pan post, redoing something in a style that more ( or different) people can enjoy.

So there we are, something for the wall, I actualy bring myself to buy a framed print this evening…of course I could attempt another canvas…

    lovely, i agree

    the first one reminds me of van gogh…but don’t mind me, i know nothing about art…

    to my untrained eyes, they look surreal and even sad…
