My Aunt's Flower
This piece is from a photo I took of a beautiful flower on my aunt’s back porch. I think she said it did not bloom very often, so I was privileged indeed to have been there at that time.
I painted it with a print out of the picture beside it so I could reference it often. I wanted to capture the delicate petals and show some of their luminosity as well. The entire painting was made from several washes, layer upon layer. This gives something like a watercolor effect. I’m fairly happy with the outcome; the work is acrylic on canvas, 10" wide x 8" high and was finished February 1, 2011. $35
