A Flower Focus

For the month of September and October I have decided to choose a topic of focus for painting...



So, of course, I chose the flower and I have been really focusing on the most prettiest I can find. Flowers are my delight because their beauty is awe inspiring. Here are two that I did recently. They are rather large on 16x20 canvas. Both were done oil paint. That is my medium of choice. They each took me a good two or three days to complete. I usually worked on it in my free time. Drawing, painting then perfecting and retouching. These are my first paintings of flowers on a large canvas.




The first one here is taken from this photo on the right. Taken from a Yard Flowers website, I forget which one (there are so many). It is called an Asiatic white lilly.





The second is painting is from an Easter Seals Calender 2010 of May. They are called narcissus flowers. They were orignially white I changed it up and made them purple-ish. Its unique.


Well, I hope you like them! "Enjoy your world!"- thats what I say. My mom really enjoys my paintings and so do I.
