Easter Egg Hunt


Are you ready for Easter? Need some special holiday art to complete your Easter decor? Your Easter celebration will be a stand out with Easter Egg Hunt on your wall! This is a pure collage piece. I used tissue papers layered to create a watercolor effect. Fresh greens and blues with pops of bright Easter Egg color! Don't settle for just any old decor-hang an original piece of art to make your home extra special!


I also just completed another sweet collage-Pretty Pink Flowers.
Every little girl would love to have this pretty collage hanging in her room! Soft pink painted canvas layered with delicate tissue blooms. My daughter says this one is her favorite ! It was nice to finish a new children's piece- I look forward to many more!

New Pieces for Spring!

I am feeling spring in a big way! I have just added several new pieces to mychloeflower.com and they all make me smile with spring colors and images! This large piece, Tree of Birds is one of my favorites! The colors are vibrant and rich and the little birds in this tree are like little treasures of color and pattern! The tree is made from a great papyrus that I have been wanting to use for awhile. The effect is amazing and it looks like real wood on the canvas! I also finished a new set of Dandelions in Green, Gold and Blue. The texture of these is so soft. You just want to touch them! I've also recreated a couple of my favorite pieces for spring. Spring Garden is inspired by Night Garden. The colors have been brightened for spring, but the bold flowers are the same. I've also recreated Three Bird Collages. These little birds are so sweet-I just couldn't help but to make them again! It's been a busy time in the studio and I am more inspired than ever! Happy Spring!

Birds!


I am a little obsessed with birds right now, so instead of fighting it, I am going to embrace it! I am especially excited about this new piece, Bird on a Limb. It has all of my favorite things- a bird, flowers, trees, fantastic patterned papers and amazing texture! Very me. I was playing around with this same bird and created something entirely different. Distressed Bird in Gold is dark, sophisticated and yet subtle. It is a collage, of course, but the paint treatment here really makes it what it is. Deep browns, golds and a touch of metallics make it stand out. This looks really amazing highlighted by the right lighting. It glimmers on the wall!
It is always fun to experiment and try new things. I am always surprised with what I discover when I let myself play. Back to the studio! Enjoy!

Field of Gold



The buttery gold paper with amazing texture makes this piece, Field of Gold, feel so warm and rich. Each flower comes alive with layers of papers with deep browns, poppies and blues. I love the feeling that this newest piece gives me. Rich and fabulous--a perfect addition to your fabulous home! It reminds me of a smaller, warmer version of one of my favorites, Field of Flowers. I was also able to work in some subtle sparkle here. I always love just a little bit sparkle. When light hits this just right the effect is amazing!
