A New Painting
Posted Friday, March 21 at 11:18 am by Kirsten
When my friend Denise saw my “winter to spring” series of paintings that I painted for my loungeroom wall, she asked if I could paint something similar for her in colours to match her living room.
Immediately I felt two things at once:
Extremely honoured that she would think my work is good enough to hang on her wall, and;
Terrified that I would screw it up!
Her living room has lots of shades of olive greens. This is what I came up with:
I had to stand on a chair and hold the camera over my head to take this photo, so it’s not great.
I haven’t shown the painting to Denise yet - I hope she likes it! It’s scary painting for others but so much fun!

This is fantastic. This website has some tips about how to photograph paintings, although I’m not so great at it.
