Candyland Board Game Painting – We’ve Only Just Begun

candyland board game painting
“We’ve Only Just Begun,” acrylic on panel, 8″ x 8″. SOLD

 I used a vintage-style Candyland board game as the model for this
painting. There are so many lovely little illustrations on the Candyland
board, especially this version, featuring designs from the 1960s, I
believe. I’ve never painted the “start” area of the game before, which I
think is especially adorable.

All of the details were painted
using a very small brush. Be sure to visit my Instagram page to see
several progress photos of this piece as I painted it –

The piece has been coated with a permanent gloss varnish and is extremely bright and colorful!

Thanks for looking!
