Acrylic paint on vintage paper ledger page (handwritten), adhered to stretched artist canvas.

Signed on the front.

Frame not included

Having fun combining many things in art that I love so very much. My collection of vintage papers (handwritten ledger paper - 1890s), adhered to a canvas as a paint surface for my acrylic paints - then painting these fabulous deep crimson red peony roses.

They almost explode with an overload of luscious and rich petals. And here, they are captured peering over the classic 'white picket fence' - something dear to many hearts for nostalgic reasons - equating such a fence as the essence of 'home'.

Home is where the heart is. I'm choosing to paint what I love, and rendering them in paint. The paint is both, opaque, and transparent, so that the edges and handwriting underneath appears and disappears -like melding into one.

There is ALWAYS a space for small format art (SFA)! Add interest to your walls. This one is a conversation starter.

The whole artwork is intended to have slight flaws - less than perfect, but it is not flawed.

It has been sprayed with a protective coating, which keeps the paper natural-looking, but the acrylics have a semi-gloss, almost giving a 3D effect.

Ready-to-hang (wire). Though can be framed, if desired. Signed on SIDE, as shown in photo. 7.25" square, 1.5" depth.
