‘Friends Series’ card by Karin Taylor
One Spring Day is a mixed media production (ink, pastel, charcoal, acrylic) on canvas textured paper. I have also used a variety of found objects, including lace and ribbons…and an especially beautiful gold paint for the wings which were underpainted first to created texture.
On of my favourite paintings, my heart and soul went into this piece…two sweet little girls in darling dresses hanging out in the garden together….what could be nicer.
One Spring Day belongs to the following groups:
Childhood, Cutest of the Cute, Mixed Media and Two Beings Group Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Ah, I really really like this painting! It’s so cute and naive (in a good way!) and childlike. Love the way you used all the different materials to make this; it has a really nice effect. I especially like the textures, like in their dresses.
Great style, lovely colours… just a wonderful painting! =D
Karin Taylor
replied
Hi Eenuh, thank you for your great comments :D
I just remembered that I also used lace and ribbons on the dress and flower stems too. I love your work also…and wish you every success in your dream to become a children’s book illustrator…you certainly have the talent!
Cheers, Karin :D

aw, thank you again Ujean, i am loving your comments, glowing in the bask of all of your warmth :D this was created for two special little blonde haired sisters in real life….young children, their mum wanted a special painting about them, i really enjoyed doing this for them, but usually i don’t enjoy commissions, but this one I did enjoy very much, they gave me complete freedom and placed no stipulations or restrictions on me !

The sweetest painting ever Karin :) I wish i could see it in real life
Karin Taylor
replied
aw, thank you so much!
the real life painting ws about 56×76cm
and it looked special all framed up under glass with a matt…
the greens so deep, you could just look and look right into it… there’s just something about this one, i put so much into it…many days, many hours…even though it looks simple…i wanted it to be really special as it was a commissioned piece …..i’m so happy to hear you like it :)

I am so in love with this picture Karin.
To me I feel like it’s symbolic of me and my Mum. Both Mum and I adore our gardens. I see it as I’m the one holding the flowers to give her to say thank you for being the most wonderful Mum in all the world!!
Thankyou for creating such a wonderful piece.
Karin Taylor

Hi KAren I get the impression your works and clothes are popular and they are gorgeous so no surprise there! But I just think EVERYTHING would look so much better on a singlet! Can you suggest something to redbubble cos I would buy your gorgeous prints if I could get them on a plain white singlet. . .
xxx keep up the amazing work and Im loving calender!
