When I found out I was going to be an aunt I decided I was going to make a painting for my new niece to start her art collection, and that every year I would make her a new one. Now it is something I do for both of my nieces. I hope that my work helps them appreciate art and handmade goods.
Cory and I made this for our niece Josephine shortly after she was born. The yellow is because she stared at a yellow wreath all the time (making me think it was her favorite) and the flowers are ones we see on hikes all the time. Now she is 18 months old and she still likes yellow and loves flowers; flower was even one of her first words!
