White Lily - Floral Oil Painting

White Lily, 4 x4" oil on panel


It is on panel which is 1-1/2" deep and the image wraps around the panel.  I painted this from a photograph that I took of a lily that grows in my garden.

Red Lily Close Up - Floral Oil Painting

Red Lily Close Up 4x4 oil painting on panel

I am taken with painting red lilies lately. I'm quite happy with this one. The shadows and highlights turned out well. I also have painted some white lilies. I find white flowers are much more difficult to paint.

I will be at the Saugeen Artists Co-op Show and Sale, July 27 - 29, 2012. That's next weekend in Hanover. Let me know if you've seen my blog. Here's the website for the show  www.saugeenartists.ca

Red Lily - Floral Oil Painting on Panel

Red Lily, 4 x 4" oil on cradled panel 1.5" deep.
Getting ready for a show at the end of July and I've been very busy. I enjoy painting flowers... sometimes. This one turned out well. Flowers can be difficult to paint, especially in oils. I find it much easier in watercolour. This was about challenges. If we don't challenge ourselves we don't get better as artists. Lessons were learned painting this flower.

This is a small panel, I got these expecting to enter another show about small paintings but I was too busy to get the entry form done and take the paintings in. It will just appear in another show. This lily grows in my garden here in Grey County. I painted it using a photograph as a reference.
