This painting was done on a 10×10 canvas panel, and is based off a reference from a Fresh Paint online class for November 2026. What our teacher did differently with this reference is that she had ChatGPT add a striped wallpaper to the wall behind the vase. Which is a nice touch, and frankly, the stripes were a bit challenging to get right.

(As an aside, her second lesson for the month features a plaid background behind a vase of echinacea flowers. I’m working on that painting now. I also experimented with doing the same thing for some of my own references, and some Unsplash references I’ve thought of painting. More to come on that.)
