"One Big Happy Family" by Gwen Bell
12 x 12" oil on canvasSOLD
Thought this group of Shasta Daisies looked like a bright, happy family. Dad is the big yellow, Mom is the solid red, little brother is yellow like his Dad and the twin girls take after both parents.
Linda said it very well, gorgeous bright colors after this crazy week. I think I remember this one from an earlier post, loved it then and love it now. Something about this particular painting makes me think of some old world artist, but right now the name has slipped past me...maybe someone else will see the same thing and know what I'm talking about.
I think this is the painting that first attracted me to your work, Gwen...and it more beautiful now than the first time I saw it! Your detail work is amazing!
What a gorgeous family! It's so nice to see such bright colors after a week of white! :-)
