Dark Side Floral : The Dandalorian, upcycled vintage painting

The paint on this has barely dried and I'm not quite ready to part with it... if you're keen on this painting, send me a message and I will get in touch if it becomes available. In the mean time, it will be available as prints & downloads on May the 4th :)  

Dark Side Floral No. 4 : The Dandalorian

For this Dark Side Florals, I imagined there once was a resourceful florist who repurposed relics from the Siege of Mandalore into unique vessels for their pretty floral arrangements! (This series was inspired by my Storm Trooper cookie jar which had a broken lid so I now use it as a plant holder!)

The style of these mid-century florals was very popular to the point that it began to be mass produced. Once an idea is mass produced, it loses its uniqueness and value… which is why paintings like these, which took time and effort to paint by hand, are being discarded. I really enjoy adding something fun to these vintage florals to make them unique again, and give them another chance to be appreciated. 

The original painting on un-stretched canvas was signed Edward. The painting had been taped to a mat matt in an old frame, so I removed it and gave it a thorough clean. The matt was damaged and it wasn't the best way to show the canvas, so I re-stretched it on a new frame.
