Original artwork description:

As an older sister growing up with a sister five years my junior, I am fascinated by the developing sibling dynamics between my own son and daughter, who have a two year age gap.
I witnessed this tender moment between them and felt compelled to paint it. The antennae weren't actually there in real life though! I often combined real life memories and moments with figments of imagination - although they are from my imagination, I often believe this part of my brain has worked in the same way since I was a child. I love painting children in dressing up clothes and so sometimes paint them on as I believe it adds a very different dimension to an otherwise regular scenario.

This painting is unframed but can be hung immediately by just placing the piece on a nail. It can be framed and I would recommend a tray frame/floater frame.

PLEASE KINDLY NOTE: Import duties and taxes are to be payed by the purchaser and these costs may vary between countries. Please do ensure that you are aware of any potential costs before placing an order.

Materials used:

Oil paint, gesso
