Treasures

 

I know this seems like an unlikely composition but it came about from a painting challenge given to us in our Friday morning painting group.  The challenge was to create a composition from items that have a significance in our lives or represent us an an individual.  I decided to put together some things from around the house for my composition.  The cap belongs to my husband and is affectionately known as his 'lid".  He is my heart and his love and support are a constant in my life.  I also love painting hence the paint brush and somewhat mangled tube of yellow paint.  There's nothing much better than a nice cuppa so I've included a lovely shiny tea ball which is something I've used before in my paintings.  In keeping with my love of painting shiny things, I've added my wedding band which is more than just a shiny object, it represents the never ending love I have for all my family and friends.  Last but definitely not least is the Maple Leaf which represents my amazingly beautiful homeland, Canada.  

Paint on!
