Lotus Life


Fresco Watercolor Painting on Board, 8" X 8"

Lotus flowers live in my pond in the summer time. I just love this exotic beauty. In my studio, I also paint magnificent glass chandeliers with exotic and tropical themes and the lots flower is one of my favorite flowers to incorporate into these pieces. This painting here was inspired by the detail of the center part of the flower against the bring magenta and warm yellow and gold tones. I play to do some larger paintings in oil for a gallery show in San Francisco in November.

SOLD

Red heliconia flowers are striking and exotic. It's funny because when I travel, I'm always looking for new flowers to paint even though I may have a lot of images of the same kind of flower. I just love the way the leaves position themselves in the compostition with the flower. And the way the sunlight comes through is just breath taking. When I'm painting a flower, I'm look to make the color rich. I'm also looking for flowers that are kissed by the sun.

Friday morning I head out to exhibit at the Scotts Valley Art & Wine Festival. I'm really looking forward to this show. And funny enough, one of my favorite bamboo gardens is just a couple towns away in Aptos. So in honor of that, here is yet another bamboo/tropical cottage inspired painting.
