Description
Based on Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs, this is a bluebird, flowers, stars and hearts hex design I created digitally. Originally sketched by my dad, Otto Werner (1923-1991), I have revived the design using digital painting on my computer. Although this design has its roots in the traditional barn hex sign folk art of early Pennsylvania Dutch and Mennonite settlers, it has been updated with a little flair. The heart-shaped leaves, the morning glory star flowers, the bluebird distelfinks on stylized vines are still symbolical but more recognizable. I have added the barn wood texture to keep the series consistent to allow for a number of hex designs to be hung in groupings.
