cave in France. Something old and something new!
The cave where the line drawing of this bird was discovered is located near the convergence of the Lot and Garonne rivers in France. In this version of the design I have used a checkered background. I very much enjoyed working with this ancient design, and bringing it to life with bright colors. As I worked I imagined myself in that early time frame. I imagined the excitement I felt as I brought to life an iconic bird from my culture, and the comments I received from my friends as I worked on it. Initially I did an oil painting, which you can see here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/esprit-de-lot-et-garonne-mary-wykes.html Now, years later, I have taken a photo of the painting into Adobe Photoshop in order to clean it up and use it for a surface design. I see the larger versions of the design used for home decor items such as a duvet cover, a throw blanket or a pillow. You may find the smaller sizes more to your liking for an interesting blouse, shirt, dress or skirt. Just ask if you need the design resized. Copyright - Mary K Wykes - 5-13-20
