Bittersweet Vines n Berries *SOLD

Finch & Spires *SOLD

I picture this painting hanging above a blue velvet couch with Navajo accent pillows and natural wood furniture. Oh....and perhaps an ornate hooked rug with pops of ivory - is that too specific? I know it will take a specific space for this painting to thrive. I used a subtle color palette to relax the movement in the lines. I wanted it to be soothing and a bit edgy. The Finch adds a pop of color to compliment the deep turquoise, grey and burnt sienna. I wanted the finch to be observing - at home in his environment.
