What do you see…
Below is a painting that started as a monochrome flower and turned into something unexpectedly delightful. When we couldn’t get what we were striving for we decided to tilt the paint off the canvas and see if something would develop and we soon discovered a captivating new form that grabbed our attention.
At the Bossier City Farmers Market, Edward decided to post it on Facebook to hear what people thought. The variety of responses ranged from fascinating to a bit quirky. Realizing its potential as a conversation starter, we decided to feature it in our booth at various craft fairs and markets. This way, we could chat with our customers and enjoy their diverse perspectives on our unique piece.
