Making a Christmas painting for my mom inspired by the below photo.

It is still very much a work in progress. I’ve decided I don’t like the tree in the background. I plan to paint over it and I’m looking for advice on what to put there instead that will balance the colors and composition.

Current ideas include a window with some kind of snow scene, or just make it a red wall, maybe with a vague wallpaper pattern.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or feedback.

Wallpaper in paintings makes me happy. Can you reproduce a wallpaper pattern from someplace nostalgic and Christmassy for your mom, or connected to that ornament? Or the look of a particular tablecloth, drapes, distinctive woodwork, anything like that which might be in an old photo?

This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don’t wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren’t sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, “Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?” If you’re still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren’t sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don’t be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don’t be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Visibility: Public
