This is actually a new work titled "Fran's Ocean." It was an interesting design challenge to create a piece that worked with all of the fabrics Fran had chosen. The couch fabric is shown on top of the two pillows here. I initially wanted to play with the starfish motif, but it ended up being too busy. I felt the soft quiet monochromatic(single color) aqua approach was best. The final size is 30" x 40" which is fairly large-a medium size painting for me. This was one of the smooth paintings. After I got past the starfish idea this just fell right out of me. When Fran saw it she exclaimed, "You nailed it! It is perfect!" I completed the final piece and went with Fran to select a frame. We both loved the silver wooden frame we selected. Then, we went in search of new lamps. We were both very happy with the end result pictured here. A brand new living room. What a fun project!!!
