A friend-collector (collector-friend? friend/collector? How do I call these wonderful folks??) brought me a hand mirror, requesting that I paint wildflowers on the back.
I began with a sketch in colored pencil to see if I was on the same track with her.
When she approved, it was time for oil painting in great detail, my favorite way to paint.

That is so pretty! You may have opened up a whole new business!
Natalie, maybe I should start hitting garage sales to find old hand mirrors to paint. Or other things. . . any ideas?
Jana, I love all your paintings but I have to say this is absolutely beautiful!! ??
So nice to hear from you, Barbara! Thank you for checking in and for loving the mirror. It was an odd job, but wow, was it ever fun!
I think that would be so much fun. If I get any ideas, I’ll let you know. Maybe some old kitchen items?
Natalie, that would be great. Thank you! But remember, hand painted items are going to run somewhere in the $50-100 range, depending on complexity and size, so think hard about whether or not a customer would think it would be worth that.
Beautiful!
Thank you, Nancy, I agree with your assessment. 😎 Hard to go wrong with wildflowers!
