I have a backlog of folk art painting to post on the blog. I think I've been waiting for the secret of good photography to suddenly come to me. It hasn't happened, so we'll just work with what we've got again!This is a gorgeous project by Mary Jane Todd called Mary had a Little Lamb. I love the background colour (a mix of Decoart Americana Teal Green and Cool Neutral), and the design of the trees especially. It's all quite simple but really effective.
The trees are based in Avocado but Hauser Medium Green would do the trick. Then the shading behind the circles is in a darker green, and the highlighting in Sand.
I nearly gave this to a friend for her 60th birthday. Then my OH actually said he liked it - and he doesn't get decorative painting on the whole as it is a bit girly - so I'm keeping it.
