About
Meredith Walker’s “Quilted Dove” is a captivating piece of contemporary folk art that harmonizes rustic charm with modern aesthetics. This original acrylic and gouache painting on raw canvas draws inspiration from traditional quilt patterns and historical folk motifs. The centerpiece is a golden dove, delicately detailed and set against a deep green background. Surrounding the central figure are soft pastel florals and radiant starbursts, skillfully balanced within the composition to create a sense of symmetry and harmony. A whimsical blue border with polka dot accents frames the piece, lending it a handcrafted, vintage-inspired feel.
The earthy palette of muted greens, warm ochres, soft peach tones, and crisp blues evokes feelings of nostalgia and tranquility. The textured brushwork and layered detailing invite the viewer to explore the intricate interplay of patterns and symbols, fostering a sense of connection to both the natural world and timeless storytelling traditions. The composition’s quilt-like structure imbues the piece with a sense of warmth and familiarity, making it both visually striking and emotionally resonant.
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.
