Original artwork description:

In my childhood home I looked at these branches every day. And with the Venetian blinds down this striped pattern formed on the wall. I can almost hear the old clock ticking, it brings me back to those years. It was very common and trendy to have cotton branches in a vase, back in the seventies. Do you remember?
This canvas is made of heavy, good quality cotton (!). It was an old painting of mine with thick acrylics that I painted over with oils, hence the texture that you can see. I think it makes it more lively. I explored the use of pastels and gray, it makes the bright colors pop!
To protect my paintings from UV-light and dust I varnish my paintings with at least 2 coats of matt varnish.
The back is wired and the sides are painted too. The painting is ready to hang. Signature and date is on the front and the back.

Materials used:
