"the home vera was born in"

18x24 deep edge panel....after i stenciled vera's room jolie had mentioned how much she liked this design and asked me if i ever did any collage style paintings...i have and was commissioned once to do one and enjoyed the process of putting the images together to form a story. so this got me thinking.......vera was born in the home  hmmmm...so i used her stencil for her bedroom with the image of the house then a vase of peonies flowers that jolie very much likes...then i wanted stephen (the dad) to be connected as well , i have painted here before and i new stephen was teaching his son about the different birds that come to there bird feeder outside the kitchen window...both of the children smile and enjoy this and so stephen told me one bird that comes is the tufted titmouse which i have painted lower right. i did not do any sketches i played around with the images in my head and just went for it, had fun will be doing more of this.
