To kick off the beautiful Spring Season this year, I created a variety of twelve floral paintings, one for every month of the year. For every month, I painted that coordinating birth month's flower. I have seen the trend circle around my Mom community to own something displaying their child/children's birth month somehow. Many Mamas have birth month necklaces, birth flower charms, even birth month stones, but what about birth month flower paintings? I love a good flower painting hanging on the walls within my home, and some spaces within my home call for a small little gallery wall rather than a larger painting. So I started envisioning having a painting for each of my littles, one flower for the month of August, and one for my babe to come in June. In the future, if more children arrive, I will add one for each new child as well. I wondered if other Mamas would desire a birth month gallery wall within their home, or for Mamas preparing a nursery of their first born, maybe they desire to have a birth month flower painted for their first room. So that got me thinking about a collection of birth month flowers that will be ongoing. Usually a collection of paintings is a set number of paintings that I create and paint one time, leave on my site to be collected/purchased, and the paintings are never recreated and the collection never grows. This birth month flower collection will be different. I plan to continue this collection by continuing to create birth month flower paintings for purchase in the foreseeable future! This means, if you purchase a painting for your firstborn, but then have another child in the coming year or two, you can come back to the shop and purchase another one for your next child and grow your gallery wall within your home to showcase your little inheritance flowers for years to come! It is my hope that these flower paintings will last longer than any trend of a flower necklace, charm bracelet or jewelry piece that will tarnish with time. These paintings will be varnished and ready to last for a lifetime.
