Painted for a special friend of mine as a moving on gift..
(unceremoniously stuck to the door with blue tack so that I could photograph it for this blog)
This was a very special piece made for a very special person with layer upon layer of meaning painted into and onto the canvas.. Significant only to it's new keeper..
At the last minute I decided to add a little poem, if you can call it that.. It will help to explain the flag to future generations of the family. Or may be not!
On reflection.. Perhaps I should have painted my full name..
Oh its lovely! A banner to guide her on her way.
ReplyDeleteIt's obviously a very meaningful banner and I'm sure she will appreciate all the hours of time you put into it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special creation for your friend. It looks as if there is a lot of detail on a very small surface. I am sure your friend will treasure this forever.
ReplyDeleteYou still can, Julie, just with an x as your middle initial! :)
ReplyDeleteOr I could be the mysterious Julie X... I wonder if it will last a hundred years and be on the 'antiques road show' in 2114..
