I painted this Easter banner around one simple, joyful message: "He is Risen." The cross and warm spring colors give it a hopeful feel for the celebration.

A white cloth drapes over the wooden cross, surrounded by green leafy branches inside a soft cream circle. Bright yellow sun rays stretch across the top, and a little bouquet of pink, blue, purple, and white flowers finishes the corner.

I painted every flower, leaf, sunbeam, and letter by hand. I love how the brown kraft paper settles all that sunny yellow and fresh green. If you have a meaningful verse or message in mind, I'd love to paint it for your celebration.
