Angel Trumpets

Angel Trumpets     16x30"  oil on linen

It was my goal with this painting to create a more "contemporary" feel to the traditional still life floral.  I do love the traditional florals and think that a good painting is timeless, however, I also find the clean simple lines of the "minimalist" look very pleasing.  It feels sleeker, cleaner....I hope to do more along this line.  Of course, I will still be doing the more traditional florals as well.  I think that both approaches to the subject have their appeal.

Hope you enjoy my interpretation of this different approach to still life florals!

Oriental Lilies

The beautiful oriental lilies are such a delightful flower.  They are delicate appearing but quite hardy and will last a long time as a cut flower.  That makes them especially useful in a larger still life painting.  As an added bonus they smell spectacular and fill the room with their  wonderful perfume, (strong enough to even mask the odor of mineral spirits!)
