Night Garden



I love this newest piece! It somehow manages to be sophisticated yet playful- moody yet bright. It is just right for this time of the year when spring is trying to emerge but cold winter winds keep reminding us that it is not quite here! This is an all collage piece-paper background and paper flowers-layered to create texture and depth. I had the opportunity to use my favorite deep red paper here. This paper truly reminds me of velvet. I have to keep reaching out and touching it just to check!

I am also working on a new bird piece. Of course, birds are one of my favorite subjects. I am really excited about it and hope to post it soon. I am also working on a new children's art piece. I was so pleased with the single tulip I made before, that I am working on a whole field now! Look for it in the next couple of weeks!

I will continue to think spring in my studio and watch for the daffodils and tulips to bloom outside as well!

Valentine's Day


It seems right with Valentine's Day approaching that I post my newest collage made with the deepest red paper I've ever found. This paper almost looks like velvet! I have been working on this one in my head for awhile-wanted to use both of these papers and make color the focal point! I'm so pleased with the way that it turned out. If you are looking for a punch of red for a wall in your home, this is the piece you need! I also added red paper all along the edges of the canvas to create a soft "frame" and to pick up the red a bit more. Take a look at this piece as well as my other latest works for your home at mychloeflower.com. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day and think red!
