"A Bit of a Blossom..."

...dusted with dots.

I was inspired by the Oaxacan folk painting style

used to decorate

beautiful and intricate wood carvings.

Methods of painting

Oaxacan carvings are uniquely localized

to the particular village from which they originate.

As this art form evolved

these carvers

incorporated geometric rug patterns

and

mosaic floral designs into their work.

You can check out

some authentic art from Oaxaca, Mexico here

and

some of the various village painting patterns here.

Enjoy! :)

Happy Blooming Tuesday!
