I was so happy to hear that my Pay It Forward gift was well received by Jane of Loopy Lou's Adventures into Handicrafts. Jane does the most exquisite needlework and her blog is well worth checking out.
I painted a close-up of an Anemone flower for Jane because it was her Mum's favourite flower. I included some extra goodies in the package....just because.

I have two more Pay It Forward gifts finished and ready for mailing and I've made a start on the rest. It has been so much fun participating in this challenge.

ReplyDeleteHi Serena,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea the "Pay it forward" is. I recently watched the movie-fantastic!
Your Anemone flower is beautiful!
Did you use acrylics to paint this canvas?
I'm sure the recipent is thrilled!
Happy painting,
Hugs,
Anna
Thank you all for your great comments....your input, as always, is very much appreciated ~ :)
ReplyDeleteAnna - Yes, I used Matisse acrylics for this particular painting. I'm so glad you asked because I normally note paint details under the image but I forgot...the painting details have now been added to the post.
I love those little canvases too - the anemone is beautifully rendered! I keep hearing about Tim Tam's. One of these days I hope to try one. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work and such heart. Funny...I only learned about Tim Tams for the first time last week and now here they are!
ReplyDeleteSerena, I'm envious of your pay-it-forward recipient! You do such beautiful work. Makes me wish your Etsy shop was stocked up... :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Serena.
ReplyDeleteYou are such an awesome talent.
ReplyDeleteWOW Serena! Hope you have a beautiful week.
Wow.... what a generous Pay It Forward Serena! And...so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI heard of Tim Tams from Hugh Jackman ...oh, alright...not from him personally, but when he was on the Oprah show...and I think he had actually brought a package for everyone in the audience....
That flower is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift. It is beautiful. I come via another blog and just passing by to visit a fellow artist. Have a great week. I love your work.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! this is such an amazing piece! I love what you've done here....you have wonderful talent!
ReplyDeletethe colours you've used...and your cripness and blending is fabulous! what a great style!
inspirational!
