The Os style of rosemaling developed in the west coast of Norway about 1875. Annanias Tweit perfected this style and created a workshop at his farm where he and his apprentices painted tiner, sending baskets, trays, chairs, ale bowls, and delightful small boxes in the bright Os Style. They were sold in the Husflidens of Bergen and even now you can find small antique boxes from that period. We will be painting a modern version of those Os boxes, which can be used for all sorts of treasures. The background color is black, which shows off the bright colors of the Os style so well. The top and three sides are painted, and also the inside of the lid. You could add a name on the inside lid, and historically, these boxes were often given as gifts to young girls. This box represents a gallery of flower styles that you can adapt to other projects.
