My husband promised to build me a she-shed and I drew up some nice little pencil sketches as studies for how the final shed might look. One of the sketches really caught my fancy and I decided to do a painting of a little village of small houses to up my chances of getting a she-shed.
This is one of those painting ideas that took on a life of its own, and there’s a secret in this painting, if you look at the windows of the front cottage you’ll see the outline of a word. Home indeed!
Some paintings I labor over, but this one just felt intuitive to me and I think it conveys the mood and theme I was after. There is no place like home. The original home painting was done in acrylic and immediately sold. I’m now doing a series of them in oils on a birch backing. Each one is unique in it’s own special way.
