My newest painting is done since my trip....
Hello everyone out there in computer land!
I am very pleased to have finished yet another project. This one was inspired by my travels to India a couple of months ago.
I have decided to call this new painting 'The Camel and The Carpet'. During my stay in India I got to see some camels up close and was totally in awe of them. They are very cute animals and always look like they are smiling. I love that enthusiasm in animals, intentional or unintentional. Calm, cool and relaxed...that's what we all should be like right?
Anyways, the magic carpet idea was inspired by our stop through Dubai. There were soo many times we were going to buy rugs there and ship them here, but in the end decided not too. So since we couldn't bring one home, why not incorporate it into some artwork? So ....that's where the idea of the Camel and the Carpet began.
During some thumbnail sketches I thought ....Instead of doing a regular rug you would see from out there, why not make my own design on the rug myself.
Rosemaling is a big part of the Norwegian heritage (I am 25% norwegian), so I thought that would be a fantastic element to bring into the painting. It also gives it more of a personal feel for myself. So I referenced some books of mine of rosemaling and added my own bits and pieces to it.
So that is the story behind my newest painting. I hope you all enjoy it.
I hope you all have fun and find my gallery interesting and fun! All thoughts, and comments are welcome!
