We created another magical canvas for Ruby's dear Mothers 50th Birthday! The story behind this canvas is as amazing as Ruby's Mom! Before we begin we want to say Happy Birthday to Ruby's Mom and also best wishes from Everlasting Artwork! Creating this canvas was a pleasure as we had a lot of fun!
The Story of Ruby's Mom:
It started in a small village in Punjab, India where her passion for sewing, fashion and tailoring began. Her passion has lead to her success as she owns an Indian fashion boutique located in Brampton, RANG Boutique
During our conversation with Ruby we discovered many many things about her Mom. We discovered that the family resided in Dubai for a number of years and later moved to Toronto, Canada. She enjoys gardening, cooking, traditional Punjabi fashion and dance and also practicing her religion. She is also funny, loving and caring. We were so happy Ruby approached us to make her Mothers 50th Birthday a birthday to remember! We wanted to incorporate her Mothers story onto a canvas and our goal was to ensure her Mother sheds a tear when she figured out the meaning of what we had created. We are not boosting or exaggerating, Ruby's Mom truly did shed tears as she was in total shock and did not expect her daughter Ruby and her son to give her such a meaningful gift. Ruby's Mom also gave me a hug!
It was truly a very touching moment to see her so happy, if someone created a painting of my life and gave it to me I would shed tears too. Thinking about it gives me the tingles! This isn't the first time we made our clients shed tears, who remembers
The Amancave ? Yup we made him shed tears too!
We want to thank Ruby for providing us with such a detailed overview of her Mothers personality, likes, dislikes and life experiences! Without all that information we would not be able to deliver her beautiful canvas!
We decided to put her life experiences and story into a bouquet. The hearts in the bouquet represent all the things she likes, the image in the vase represents her village Tajpur Punjab, then the move to Dubai and finally to Toronto Canada. The maroon line that goes across the Toronto skyline is the road that goes around her village in Punjab. The small yellow plants are canola plants aka Saroon (punjabi) which represents the rich fields of Punjab and also one of its most popular crop. Then finally we have the blue river that trickles from the top left corner of the vase down to the bottom. That is the river that also went by Ruby's Moms village in Punjab! Everything is just a crazy journey and we totally enjoyed every second of painting!

| We laid out the flowers and hearts to see where we could paint in the stems! Yes this canvas has a 3D aspect to it! |

| Prior to making the leaves we laid out the vase, flowers and hears to see how it looks! |
