michael tickner is a local vancouver artist who paints scenes of his homeland. when he started painting, back in the 70's, his intent was always to use bright colours and to ensure his paintings lifted one's spirits. the colour and the happiness of his artwork is exactly what appeals to me. so, when i laid my eyes on this print below i knew i had to have it. i imagined kai's room as its perfect home. the catch was that i had to win it in a silent auction (i attended a fundraiser for a local women's health center last week). and i did win it, barely!!!
although it isn't an original painting (they are way too expensive for my modest budget), the framed art poster was the only way i would be able to own one of michael tickner's pieces. kai approves of my purchase and is now eager to give his room an update... me too!
do visit his website to see more of his art.
