Favourite decorative art pieces – part one
I’m planning on putting up a few posts on this same topic.
You’re probably not like me, and can’t bear to part with any of your paintings, but I have actually kept very few of my own folk art / decorative art pieces.
They have either gone off to another home (usually one of my sisters), or I just couldn’t bear to look at it after a while, because I wasn’t happy with the quality of the work.

Yet another adaptation from a Jo Sonja book. I think this was from the big book of decorative painting.
I painted this on one of those textured artist boards. It’s propped up on a plate stand in my daughter’s bedroom.
I love this combination of colours. After I painted the design, I glazed/shaded using retarder medium to give a bit more depth.
