Wan Pin and I have chosen The Birthday Parade by Mariann Johansen-Ellis as the featured art on our inaugural series of charity candles. Mariann has so many beautiful art pieces that it actually is a challenge to pick one as the featured art for our charity candles.
The Birthday Parade depicts four friends, each on a unicycle, on their way to a birthday party. We didn’t know this initially but there is actually a name for each etching. The etching with the Tiger carrying a birthday cake is Celebrations, the Panda with a chirping bird on its arm is A Song for you, the Giraffe with a cute teddy bear in its hand is A Friend for you, and lastly, the Elephant holding a present is The Gift.
The Birthday Parade is timeless and has some sort of a vintage feel, and I can already imagine how lovely these happy animals will look on the charity candles.
