This acrylic painting that I painted for my Aunt was inspired by an old Martha Stewart magazine cover. I did two variations and added a few elements to the composition for design sake, which of course lead to that common artists' dilemma: which I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so I uploaded them both together. The original painting is 22x28.
