Hello abode lovers and hooray for the start of a new week. I am super pumped about this week because I have decided to bite the bullet and launch Laurel Dawn the shop THIS week! eeeek! What made me decide to do it NOW? Well, it's ready... basically. I just have a few more things to tweak that I should be taking care of in the next 24-48 hours and then it's HAPPENING. So-- as another little sneak peek of my original art collection, I wanted to share a 48"x48" piece that I made for my dining nook. I love that it's SUPER big and makes a statement on this large wall that's been nakedy for years! I also love that it kind of mimics what's happening in the Glorias Garden rug in my living room!
Here is the space before....
Here's another view of the space AFTER-- I love the way this piece looks next to the bone inlay mirror as well-- the lines in each piece are organic while being very different in size, shape and color-- so they work well together without clashing or looking too matchy.
Here is a close up of the painting. I will be offering this piece as a print in my shop!
and again... I don't mean to pat myself on the back, but I kind of love the way this piece works in my space!
Here are a few details shots... this piece is acrylic and chalk pastel on raw canvas. I love the frayed edging and the metallic spots in each piece are my favorite.
I hope all of you abode lovers are as excited as I am!
Here are the two paintings revealed so far... both will be offered as prints THIS week!
Have a great day abode lovers and be sure to follow Abode Love closely this week as the shop Laurel Dawn WILL be launching!
This piece looks AMAZING on that dark wall. Curious, will you be selling any originals? Not prints I mean.
ReplyDeleteHey Dina, YES! I will actually be selling more originals than prints! I can't wait to share all of them!

Laurel-Dawn, I have a print that I have had for several years. It is still not framed because I cannot find a frame that I love. I love the acrylic frames you used for your beautiful paintings and have decided that is exactly what I need for my print! Where did you have them framed? Somewhere in Birmingham? I look forward to seeing Laurel Dawn the shop!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Marcia
