Waterlily

I found the photograph I took of the pink waterlily especially intriguing because the reflective shadows were so enticing. So actually this painting is focusing more on reflections and then the waterlily.  The decaying leaf position is designed to pull the eye of the viewer into the painting, then follows around to the pink lily and finally the reflection. Tricks in composition . . . it's all about controlling the eye!

White Orchid

This little painting was inspired by a collection of orchid photos taken on a trip to Myriad Botanical Gardens, Oklahoma City. Orchids are like tiny jewels with their incredible intricate detail. I have done several paintings of these rare beauties stay tuned . . . .more orchids to come. Thanks for viewing my blog.

Passion

The passion flower grows wild in many areas of Texas, there are many different varieties. I had planned on painting this flower for many years knowing it would be a challenge. A photograph taken in a friend's yard provided the inspiration to finally make that painting. The passion flower has many biblical connotations easily searched online. I have always thought it was one of the most beautiful and memorable flowers I have ever seen. I wouldn't mind doing a series of these they are so incredible.
