Enjoying the rain in style…

'Pink Wellies' Original Painting by Niki Jackson The Vintage Artist

It’s been raining loads in England lately, I’ve seen so many fun wellie boots (rain boots) about. But by far my favourite have to be the spotty ones. Pink or green I’ll take them Winking smile

Might as well enjoy the rain in style!

'Pink Wellies' by Niki Jackson The Vintage Artist

This is my first large painting in a long while, I really enjoyed it and played around using acrylic washes for the background and more detailed, thicker paint for the wellies and daisies.

You can see the grain of the wood panel showing through, which looks lovely. The sides are painted black as always to make this really stand out when hung on the wall.

Original is available here and prints too!

Happy splashing!

The boots are adorable. There are so many fun funky colors now in stores. We had been having a lot of rain as well. We finally are getting some sunny days.
