Original Art Week! Tis' the Season!
Everyday this week I will be posting some of my
Original paintings for sale!
Who will be the lucky person SURPRISED at Christmas Time?
Will it be YOU?
Below is today's painting!
~Lillian Lilacs~
Lillian's Lilacs was completed for the "Flowers of My Life Show" held in 2013.
The show ..sponsored by the Sunriver Resort and the SHARC was my 30th Anniversary show.
Each painting represented a period of my life utilizing a floral theme.
Growing up in Michigan beautiful lilac bushes were everywhere.
My families property had many.
You knew summer was amidst with the smell of lilacs filling the air.
Even now when I smell lilacs.. I can instantly be back at my childhood home in my mind.
The painting below was created on Masonite....a very hard and flat surface.
The base of the painting has 6 layers of primer and a Silver Glaze was added on top.
The Silver Glaze adds depth and interesting light.
All the detail took over two months to complete.
If you look closely you can see a Goldfinch watching me select flowers for my Grandmother Lillian.
I was very fortunate to grow up with my grandparents as neighbors.
They both were amazing and extraordinary people.
The closeup below shows you each brush stroke of each lilac petal.
Yes there are times I say "BUY A BIG BRUSH" and create "ABSTRACT"!
However as the years have gone on I have an obsession with minute detail!
I am fascinated by it.
The painting measures 4 feet by 4 feet.
I hope you have enjoyed learning a little more about this painting.
