About
Meredith Walker’s "Sun Baby" is an enchanting example of contemporary folk art that blends botanical symbolism with whimsical character. This original acrylic and gouache painting on raw canvas features a bold, stylized plant rooted and rising from the bottom of the composition, its curling leaves rendered in velvety brown tones. Above it, a radiant sun-like bloom emerges, its warm golden aura framing a delicate human face with subtle blush and expressive eyes. The surrounding border glows with earthy shades of ochre, sienna, and muted reds, creating a hand-painted tapestry effect that emphasizes the artwork’s organic charm. The composition evokes themes of renewal, vitality, and harmony, inviting viewers to connect with nature while appreciating the handcrafted intimacy of folk-inspired painting.
This 20-inch square original artwork is meticulously crafted on raw canvas, with painted edges that create a seamless, finished look. It is wired, ready to hang, and requires no additional framing. It is signed by the artist on the back, and it comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery. Convenient delivery is available in the Los Angeles area, and affordable shipping options are offered throughout the Continental U.S. and internationally.
