My Grandson and Me

My influence for this painting is family FUN.

My grandson Nixon (12 years old, nearly 13 ) had a sleep over on the weekend and wanted to finish off a painting that was for his bedroom.
Once that was finished I started one for me. OR SHOULD I SAY WE STARTED ONE TOGETHER.

Nixon is a young lad with endless energy. Which sometimes is a challenge not to be distracted. But the day WE were painting he was a different lad, dedicated, in control and with a purpose.
I was proud.
He helped me paint the base colours and gave me some very useful advice when it came to colour selections and design details.

With Nixon's advice, I was after a painting that was bright, colouful, busy in graphics and something that would lighten up any room and be a real eye catcher.

The painting is 122 cm wide 91 cm high and 4 cm deep. It weighs 2.5 Kgs. It is finished in a high gloss varnish that enhances the colour and protects the paint.

On the back is a signed Certificate of Authenticity. It is wired ready to hang and has felt cushion to protect your walls.
