ride them, but I sure enjoy painting them!
Water cascading and splashing over huge rocks in a river is so exciting! This surface design is ready for you to print on Linen Cotton Canvas Ultra or Eco Canvas. Just purchase, stretch and frame. This version includes a mat and frame as well. There is another version in the collection which is plain if you would prefer. The original painting was done while I was taking an online course with Daniel Edmondson, an amazing painter and instructor. It was my first attempt at painting water, and I was quite nervous. I was also delighted with the way it turned out. Colors are brown, tan, aquamarine, phthalo blue, and subdued greens. The palette also includes a generous helping of purple. I also developed a series of fabric designs using this oil painting as a starting point. You will find them all in the collection titled "River Cascades": http://www.spoonflower.com/collections/162861-river-cascades-by-maryyx - In my opinion, these designs would make amazing clothing for the outdoor enthusiast, especially shirts and blouses. They could also be used to make really fun tote bags, and could work well for an upholstered chair for your den or lake cabin. They would also be a lot of fun to use for quilting. Happy sewing!
