Happy Chestnut

I’ve named this painting so because of its origins!

My neighbor has a gigantic chestnut tree in his garden. Every autumn I get a box full of chestnuts from him. Sometimes I use them in my daycare with the kids, not for creative projects but as open material to stimulate fantasy!

But for this painting, I put together a sort still life composition with a chestnut and it’s leaves with other branches and plants from the garden.

Then I let my fantasy go wild with colors!!
