Geranium Mini Art and Trinket Box
I have recently completed another in my series of mini artworks and matching trinket boxes. The latest addition is based on one of my very early paintings (Variegated Geranium Leaves) and I have concentrated solely on the leaf of the geranium plant for the design. The background of both the min canvas and the trinket box have been painted with a mixture of burnt umber and orange to give a deep rusty orange shade overall. The easel has been painted in sap green to tie in with the green along the stem of the geranium leaf. The trinket box is decorated in the same way, with a brown felt lining added to it and funky foam feet attached underneath to prevent any scratches on delicate surfaces. Both these items will be added to my Etsy Shop today, along with another one or two soon!
I am also working on a set of small paintings on box canvas all with a similar theme. The idea is that I paint an abstract landscape or seascape or any other imaginary scape, always incorporating the letter “H” somewhere in the painting. I will then be naming them “Aitch at the sea-side” or some such!
