Day 13’s painting is a pretty little floral arrangement. I was concerned for a while that the colors were a bit “too cute” because they were so bright. With the addition of the dark purple details, however, the tones became more subdued, and now the piece looks more interesting as well.
When the painting was finished, it reminded me of a Swedish design, so I just had to take a photo of it with my beloved Dala horses (Thanks Astrid from Red Red Completely Red for enlightening me about their proper name!).
This is a gouache painting that’s about 4.75in square on a 6in square piece of Arches 90lb paper.

Absolutely lovely, Anika.
another absolutely beautiful painting! i love the extra little fine details in this one, and the combination of colours. if i was lucky enough to win i would have to find myself some of those sweet horses too, as they go together perfectly.
I am in love with this one, the colors are so fun and the design is so whimsical!
This would look perfect in my daughter’s room. I love it set up with the Dala horses, too 🙂
The dark purple is the genius touch. Definitely another winner. (Hope I’ll be a winner too!)

This reminds me of my Great Aunt Margaret- she would have loved this piece! (she was a painter, too- classic landscapes)
