FLOWER FRIDAY…”FRUIT OR ORNAMENTS”…A NEW KATHY MILLER FLOWER PAINTING


FLOWER FRIDAY

Fruit or Ornaments-24x30 Original Acrylic on Canvas painting by Kathy Miller

“FRUIT OR ORNAMENTS”

24″x 30″ Original Kathy Miller Painting, Acrylic on Canvas

Just finished… a new  24″ x 30″ flower painting!  Just in time for Christmas.  This painting will also be my Christmas card…hot off the press…waiting to be mailed…think I better get busy addressing envelopes.

The inspiration for the painting…a photo of a beautifully dressed table ready for Christmas dinner.  The fruit surrounding the flowers reminded me of Christmas ornaments.  As I worked on this painting the fruit kept morphing into Christmas balls…at least I didn’t add stripes or something to the fruit.  But I couldn’t resist stripes…and voila a red and white striped table cloth.

This painting is framed with an antiqued silver leaf picture frame, a canvas floater, which  floats the fine art canvas, suspending and separating it from the moulding.

Back to the Christmas card, I always use the same sentiment inside…based on the old photo cards my parents used to send.  You know, the ones with a picture of the house or the family (yes in black and white) with the sentiment…From Our House To Yours…

With my tablescape Christmas cards the sentiment is

“Season’s Greeting From Our Table To Yours”

Here is a look at my previous Christmas cards…the first 3 depicting tablescapes from our home.

“MARSH CREEK CHRISTMAS”

inspired by our mountain home and a painting by Pierre Vonnard, “Still Life with Greyhound” which was inspired by a Jean Simeon Chardin painting,”The Buffet” 1728.
