The birth of a pillow starts with a painting, then an art print then a pattern design. This photo shows how often times only a small segment of the original painting is used. I photograph the area of the painting that I am drawn to whether it is the shapes, color blends or just the “mood” of it that is appealing. Sometimes I sell the paintings as well & some are kept to be used as templates for future designs. A lot of work produces the end result but it is “happy” work. #lifeasanartist #pillowlove #momsthatpaint #smallbusiness
