South African Flowers



















This painting is for some friends who are getting married this weekend. The flower arrangement was a centre piece at their rehearsal dinner the other night. There is more detail in the flowers than the photo shows. This painting was a real lesson for me in squinting and simplifying. I kept getting caught up in the details in the flowers. I am pleased with how it turned out. I hope Holly and Sean like it.

  2. I just discovered your blog from Barbara's blog. This painting is luminous. I really like the contrast of rich color juxtaposed against the black and white design.

    Really good work! Looking forward to visiting again.
