What is it about babies? These six little ones are clustered to face their new world together. One is larger than all the others. Maybe he is going to be their protector.
This is the first floorcloth that I have ever posted here on my blog. I paint them mostly as commissioned pieces. They are so "site" specific as most clients want them to be compatible with their decor. I started doing these because the idea fascinated me somehow as an application of useful or applied art. So, after lots of experimenting and study I thought I had created some interesting creative objects of art for submission to our regional craft guild. "Long story short": In the year 2000 I became a member of "Piedmont Craftsmen" after passing a stringent jury process of submitting examples of my floorcloths and tablecovers . This guild has given me great exposure in this Southeastern region of the US. From time to time I receive commissions because of my affiliation with this splendid group of craftsmen and the attention that it has given me.
