drawing challenge: another roadside attraction




these are two (and a cutout) of the three paintings 
I made some years ago for 'De Geheime Tuin'
an office for therapy and coaching of children, young people and parents
the office is named after 'The secret Garden'
a children-book by Frances Hodgson Burnett

for more roadside attractions you have to go to my Paraphernalia of Demie

* acrylic on canvas with beads and sequins and some applications

  2. Patrice, these are beautiful! I can imagine how loved they are at the "The Secret Garden"
    I ask the same questions as Demie, are they pearls, buttons, beads?
    Greetings to you also from Canada!
