Garden in Chaos

10″ x 10″ Mixed media on canvas

I literally almost threw this canvas in the trash. I have been working on it for months. It has been through multiple transitions. This happens quite often, the paintings that I dislike the most, eventually turn out to be the most popular.

Now that “Garden In Chaos” is complete, I love the floral accents, the contrasting colors and the whimsical outlines of petals. There are many layers of acrylic, alcohol ink, and gel sticks, all balanced in perfect chaotic harmony.

This design looks fantastic on products and apparel at my Redbubble site, I highly suggest you visit here! 🙏😊 If you are doing some holiday shopping this weekend, take advantage of 20-60% off using the code: DEALS2020 !!!

    It reminds me of our garden, which is total chaos. You ended up pulling this one out of it’s various states, making a beautiful painting and , saving it from the trash.

    Well recovered Tiffany – when mine are headed for the bin they rarely escape.

    It’s beautiful! I think we’re harder on ourselves and something we don’t like, others love! Also sometimes we all look at things from a different angle, lens. It’s beautifully done and looks amazing on your products!

    Beautiful chaos says I as I look towards my own garden. They say one must not wait to be given flowers but plant them and decorate our souls.
    You have this to perfection. 👌
