A few days ago, I bought a small bunch of carnations. As I was preparing to place them in a vase, I remembered seeing those beautiful books on flowers that are drawn by botanical artists. They are flowers drawn in intricate detail on white paper. I really love seeing those types of drawings and in my own attempt to try to acheive in producing the same kind of floral art as the experts, I chose a single carnation out of the bunch, held it in my hand and began to draw it with my colored pencils. It's not that easy to keep on holding it while drawing, but I was able to manage it. Anyway, this is the result. Not too bad, I think!

"Blue Iris's" 11x14 Acrylic on canvas
"Magnolias and Green Vase" 16x20 Acrylic on canvas
This is a painting I did in the Spring of 2010. I used silk magnolias(no real ones that I could find),and found the green vase that I purchased at a local craft store.The shape and color of the vase looked interesting and I knew that I had to use it for a still life painting. Both flowers and the vase went very well together visually and since I am a fan of the famous artist Salvador Dali,I decided to give the fallen leaves and petals on the table, an abstract look in the Dali style. I hope you like this painting as much as I do.
