3-28-09 Queen Luna
Luna Larkspur was the subject of a very intersting project. The artists were asked to paint their pet wearing clothes!
As you can see, Valerie has decided to paint Luna wearing royal garb and sitting in a very stately posture. I think this says a lot about Luna. What comes to mind when you look at this painting?
The project all started with a photograph. Notice Luna’s photo pinned up on top? The painting starts by creating your animal in a certain pose- What do you envision the animal wearing? You can see Valerie’s magestic Luna to the left. She saw Luna sitting in such form that to her the crown, thrown and aristocratic attire made sense. Her daughter, however, saw Luna in a different light. Notice her fun hat, shirt and scarf–with decorative tail embelishments? She saw Luna as very happy outside on a sunny day!
How would you paint your pet? What would it be wearing?
My what a royal birthday for Queen Luna!
Yes, it was quite a royal occasion. We had some fun!
