The Surprise Party by Philip Goodwin is one of those images that never dates. Our studio recreates it as a hand painted oil painting — textured, color-rich, and ready to hang as canvas wall art in a dining room, study, or reception area.
According to Goodwin historian, Larry Len Peterson, "The Surprise Party was completed in 1931 for a Brown & Bigelow calendar. It proved so popular that in 1933, one of their biggest customers, Day Lumber Corporation in Springfield, Massachusetts, wrote Goodwin regarding using it for one of their forthcoming calendars, ‘We are seriously considering using one of your bear subjects which is the one with the old bear up the tree, two cubs on the ground, and the old bear trying to get the honey out of the bee's nest.'
"The mother bear is caught up a tree fighting off angry honey bees just as she also has to deal with her startled cubs and two approaching humans. Her whimsical dilemma makes for one of Goodwin's most unforgettable predicament paintings."
Every hand painted oil painting in this fine art series is finished on artist-grade canvas and checked against the original before it leaves the studio.
Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
This fine art oil painting wall decor is equally at home in a residence, a boutique hotel, or a professional office. Its elegant character makes it a safe, distinctive gift for anyone furnishing a dining room.
In short: The Surprise Party - Philip Goodwin - Canvas Wall Art combines an elegant composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for fine art oil painting and dining room wall art.
