24 x 30 Oil on Canvas
One of my favorites. I set this up in my livingroom. My Mama had passed these wonderful red stack tables down to me and I had the silk flowers on hand. Just kept arranging until I had something I liked then went from there. I'm also a seamstress and happened to have the red fabric I used for a drape behind it. Flowers are usually hard for me and this was a real challenge, the hardest were the small yellow roses, had to paint each petal. I also learned a lot about painting with yellows, how to use purples instead of seinnas, browns or greens to make shaded areas and such. I don't know how this will look here, but in the painting you feel as if you could actually pick up those two yellow daylilies lying on the table. I have framed it in gold and it hangs in our study/office which is painted a deep rich red. Hope it looks as stunning here as it does on my wall.
