COASTAL ART FOR CHILDREN’S ROOMS
Coastal art for kids’ rooms?
‘I don’t really paint art for children’s rooms. My work is not animal-themed, or circus-themed, or celestial-themed, or whatever the latest trend is in decorating a nursery.’
That was my first thought when The Untamed Square announced to their artists that they were creating a special release of art for children. Clearly, I haven’t decorated a nursery in at least 20 years. Today, kids’ rooms are more sophisticated than when my children were babies. Or maybe I didn’t have sophisticated taste as a young mother.
Either way, nurseries, and kids decor have come a long way from the ‘cutsie’ designs of the past. Current designs are elevated, chic, and much cooler than they used to be. I started doing a little research and the ideas began to simmer for a collection of coastal art for kids that is youthful, yet stylish.
When I begin planning a new collection, my process often begins with color. I rip pages out of magazines or search Pinterest for color schemes I like. They can be advertisements, a pretty room, or even a travel location. I then sketch ideas and begin to play with colors and ideas.
Or I use my own photographs. And I take a lot of them.
That’s where the inspiration began for this little collection of beach umbrella collection began. I realized that my children spent untold hours at the beach from the time they were babies, and those trips were an integral part of their childhood.
So why not paint a collection of coastal art for children’s rooms?
