June is the perfect month to feature this giant rainbow painting in acrylic on canvas. It was created in 1975 by my mom, Lisa Baack. I remember her painting it in her home studio when I was just 8 years old.
To me, it feels like joy. The colors are vibrant, deep and rich, and blended just so, you can see the rain and the sun to make this rainbow. You’ve got to come see it in person. It’s stunning. It’s huge! It’s over 9 feet wide and 6 feet tall.
It’s a pleasure to share this piece of art with the public rather than have it rest in storage.
Unfortunately, my mother passed away late 2023. Although she didn’t know I would be hanging her art inside the Test Patch Studio shop, she knew the storefront was coming as we had been collaborating on some of the art for Test Patch Studio for the last 7 years.
The last photo in the carousel is me at 8 years old, my brother at 10, and my mom at her art opening in front of the rainbow. Check out my socks with sandals. Gotta love it!
Pop in for a visit to see the new art on display. We’d love to see you! 🌈
