THE STORY BEHIND THE PAINTING:
“The Lily” is the second painting of the Colors of Summer Collection.
This painting was inspired by another flower in my studio garden- the magnificent Casa Blanca Lily. In late August, these lilies open beneath my studio windows, and the wind blows their exotic scent into the studio, leaving it to swirl around me as I paint. These white lilies, like the winter snows, reflect the colors surrounding them, whether it is the blue shadows of the trees, the gold of the sun, or a pastel pink reflection of their neighboring flowers, the blood-red Hope for Humanity rose.
Just like ‘The Rose,” I used a palette of primary colors for this lily, along with white for blending. Once again, I managed to get all the colors of the rainbow across the lily’s delicate petals, this time, in pastels.
THE STORY BEHIND THE COLLECTION:
Colors of Summer is inspired by all the summertime colors. Each floral painting has all the colors of the rainbow. If you look closely, each new insect included in a painting is featured in the following one as well, creating a visual timeline for when the paintings were completed. This collection completely changed how I viewed color, and I thoroughly enjoyed the process. I hope you love it as much as I do.
HOW IT ARRIVES:
This 11×14 painting was painted with acrylic paint on a stretched canvas. The canvas is signed on the front and the back. Your painting will arrive ready to hang in a walnut wood frame, along with a certificate of authenticity and a letter from the artist.
