RED BALLOON

OIL ON CANVAS PANEL
8"X6.5"

A painting of our granddaughter which started out easy and quickly took a turn for the worse. I don't remember how many times I wiped and scraped the background. I was trying to put a garden setting in the background but it overpowered the figure. I finally decided the canvas was too large and cut 3.5 inches off the end. We both love to watch Winnie The Pooh so that is where the red balloon comes in.

I love the Red Balloon! It seems like you really captured your granddaughter's playful spirit. I know what you mean about backgrounds -- sometimes they can be the biggest challenge! You did a great job, Anita!
