Making of Easter Painting 2010

Three years ago we started doing group paintings. Everyone would stake out a section of the canvas and then try to blend their design or design elements with the others. We do the paintings at Easter because we are all together and it has made for a fun family tradition.

Rachael mixing the base color

We applied the base with plastic bags to give texture

Anyone have any ideas? The start is always a challenge...


Rachael used a white design, Olivia started with slashes and Rick went for bold primary colors...
The circles are being defined..

Progress...

The girls working around the canvas following their circles...

Eileen doing some detail work...

The final painting! Love the colors! It is so fun to see the elements of the whole. From bottom left: small circle - Sue, large striped inner circle - Olivia, while laced circle - Rachael, psychedelic circle - Eileen and bold red and yellow circle - Rick.

  1. This is awesome! I love the idea of circles and rings interconnecting. It eludes to the idea of your lives being intertwined and connected forever.
