Thistle Heart : 2024-01

THISTLE HEART
30 January 2024
Acrylic on wood
8.25 x 19.75 in (20.95 x 50.17 cm)

We found a pretty simple, but elegant frame which contained a floral print (shown below). It is a somewhat unusual shape, but those unusual shapes can help create cool perspectives. I wanted to make a non-blue sky with some clouds far on the horizon. Initially, I thought a sunflower would take center stage, but thought a thistle would be a bit more intriguing. They're also fun to paint and a bit more uncommon in artwork.

A gif showing the progress - it sat for about seven days, but the painting was over two days.
On the right, Thistle Heart in it's predestined frame.

This was the original print in the frame and the sticker on the back.
