The chair I’d painted for Sissy a few weeks ago, had been a lot of fun to do. So I thought I’d play with the style again.
Her aesthetic was very Scandinavian, but I added some of my own personal slant. This piece is similar, with even more of my own taste. Just a bit more cottagey?
This whole type of painting has been around forever and goes many directions. You see folk art-ish pieces done up in Pennsylvania Dutch, Swedish, Taiwanese, Indian, and many more variants on the same genre.
My thought is to incorporate all of those ideas into my own designs and spiff up some old furniture I have around. Yesterday I painted a chest in the most soft, soothing, aqua blue and it’s now ready for its brushwork.
Photos to come!
