Water Lilly in the Center of Its Universe
Oil 36" x 48" painting size
I took the reference photographs for these floating flowers at the American Orchid Society of Palm Beach County. I love to paint flowers and water lilies are particularly interesting because of their proximity to water and the shadows and reflections that are created. "Water Lilly in the Center of its Universe" and "Two Water Lilies and their Reflections" are both larger than life and measure 36" x 48". The size is meant to make an impression on the viewer and lead them into the scene. The giclees are available.
Two Waterlilies and their Reflections
Oil 36"x48" painting size
Pink Lotus Water Lilly
Oil 36" x 42" painting size
Pink Lotus and Two Nymphaeas were created as part of a commission. My client wanted to fill their new home with flowers.
When I found out what the subject was going to be, I discovered that the best place to photograph water lilies was McKee Botanical Gardens in Vero Beach. It is a remarkable place where a system of waterways interconnect. Every corner brings you to into contact with more lovely floating flowers. I was so excited when I got there that I practically ran from shot to shot. Painting was a pure color delight. The first painting is a portrait of a pink lotus. The second painting is a portrait of two Nymphaeas.
