Floral Print Silky Satin Cushion Cover

Blossom Dreams, these cushion covers are a floral print on silky satin material. And have been created from a painting done using acrylics, painted with brushes and palette knives.
The cushion is included with the cover. Its size is 40 x 40 cm and it has a detachable, machine-washable cover.
This is my story of how this painting came about.
It had just been my 60th Birthday which was special in itself. I received a beautiful bunch of flowers internationally from my Daughter, who is living in America, and who l had been separated from during Covid with all the restrictions. So this bunch of flowers wasn't just any bunch of flowers, it was a symbolisation of our love as Mother and Daughter on this special occasion.
I wanted to bring to life with this painting something that others could possibly relate to. So l set to photographing the flowers from all different angles making sure to do this during the daylight hours while the flowers were still fresh and crisp looking. Zooming in on some of the more beautiful ones, to be able to blow up and paint later.
They had the most beautiful intense smell, The roses in particular were exquisite,
especially as they had opened up. I then set about producing a great sketch that could then be used as a
recording to then start blowing up the image, making sure to get my scaling right when transferring it from the drawing onto canvas.
Being a kind hearted and patient artist, I wanted to produce something of an aesthetic value and high quality.
It took ages to describe onto canvas using my painting skills with a pallet knife to show the petals of the rose, and moving the knife in such a direction to create a real effect.
Doing this painting I was up against all other artists selling their work all over the internet. So I had to come up with something using the skills I had, but keeping up with modern times and techniques of how to go about the painting.
This painting was one of my first ones switching over from oils to acrylics to produce something modern.
I imitated the colours of the rose but emphasized some of them to create more interest and a striking effect.
There was a moment my heart started pulsating a little quicker when I thought I had painted in too dark what I was seeing in the flowers, but then stood back and realized that actually it was ok.
Using a method which was in between realistic and imaginary.
The sense of achievement was incredible, and made me feel extremely happy!
I hope you like it.
