Sleeping Family by Lynne Bertalli

<< Previous Item Next Item >>

Features

ARTIST NOTES: Sleeping Family is work drawn from my passion of felines. In this work the girl and her feline family cuddle up together for a sleep surrounded by cushions and rugs, cosy and comfortable. It is a beautiful thing to share love and warmth for both animals and humans. Animals provide us with unconditional love, lower our heart rates and provide huge benefits for our mental health. I wish to pay tribute to our animals and to the special human beings that provide love, care and shelter for them. The work is based on stylised figurative images of felines, a female characters and flowers woven together with my fascination for rich colour & texture. I use various techniques of dry brush, washes & thick layers of paint to create my work. This painting is on canvas and is ready to hang. Feel free to ask me any questions using the chat facility on this page Medium Acrylic Paint on canvas stretched onto a wood frame and ready to hang with D rings and wire. Signed on the front.
