Mehmet’s 1st Anniversary

Mehmet’s 1st Anniversary, 2017, was painted in celebration of Victoria and Engin’s boy at the one year anniversary of his birth. It is painted on clear canvas acetate using acrylics and mixed medium.

I painted the crown, sun and olive branch, the red dot, the underline. They are the details that I drew on first impulse when thinking of this new child.

This piece is a named piece. It’s a celebration of the person he already is, albeit still in his earliest of years. Noble, supported, bursting with potential.

Unpainted areas in Mehmet’s First Anniversary allow the surface behind it to show within it’s framed area. This allows for a merging effect.

I encourage thumbtacks for hanging these particular type of pieces as they have painted frames and … I could go on. Lots of pluses.

And finally, it has a varied edge because I cut this canvas from a single source and my straight line cutting skills are just okay.

Mehmet’s First Anniversary  is roughly 12″ x 16″. It’s signed on the back.
