CARNATIONS ( 4, 4"x4" separate panels )

SOLD

#193
I had bought another variety of flowers to paint but wasn't able to work in my studio again until today. Naturally the flowers died but the carnations from last week were surprisingly still 'fresh as a daisy' so to speak. Of course I just had to paint them again. I put four boards together as in the previous post ( #192) but this time I used the smaller 4" x4" panels to make one 8"x8" painting.
The panels are actually separate and therefore can be framed with all sides touching or with a slight gap between each panel or in individual frames and hung together in a square as painted.

PAT'S CARNATIONS

#192
I was asked to paint these carnations in memory of my late mother-in-law. Red and white carnations being her favourite. I decided to use four 5"x5" boards to make one 10"x10" ( 25.4cm x 25.4cm ) painting. The intention was that each of the boards represented the four siblings.

Nevertheless, I have been thinking of joining panels together like this for a while. I also want to try a few other ideas with different sizes. This idea will hopefully lead to different options for framing eg. spacing the panels slightly but still being in one frame, framing individually, or with some subjects (depending on the subject) being able to change the the order or placement of the panels. Thinking outside the box ( excuse the pun ) may or may not work. We'll see how it goes...
