The Siesta

This is an original watercolor painting of a miniature schnauzer taking an afternoon nap in the most gorgeous, inviting room!
A few of the patterned pillows on the sofa have tropical-themed prints of butterflies, plumeria flowers and coconut palms. The lamp shade has hibiscus and bird of paradise flowers amongst soft greenery. On the wall hangs a painting by Paul Gauguin called, "The Siesta". The colors of this painting are echoed throughout the room in the collection of vases, the green ottoman and the charming blue-striped sofa! Violet and pink, bearded iris adorn the Limoges vase, a statue of dolphins and an angel fish sit on the table under the painting.

This watercolor is painted on Arches, French-made 300gsm watercolor paper which is 100% cotton. It has been painted with Rembrandt professional watercolor paints and Archival ink. It ships with a signed certificate of authenticity.
