Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.
This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Donna was the hostess who supplied this great reference photo!
I just had to try those lilacs! I'm not a floral painter by any means, but I really like the Springtime feelings this flower generates. I have some in my yard and they're only there for about two weeks tops. You have to look fast and enjoy them for the short time they're around. Sort of a mini lesson on life in general.
This is on a 7x5 canvas panel. A little brush and a lot of palette knife!
C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!
This painting was influenced by the style of the great
innovative artist, Julie Ford Oliver.

Song Of Solomon 2:11 Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.

ReplyDeleteThis has such beautiful harmony, Dean. I am not sure I could do this well.

Are you painting your undies for the DPW Challenge?!!!!
Hi there Dean!... This Spring Time reflection hangs right in there with ALL of your gems... as small lessons in life!
ReplyDeleteYour paintings always combine with your strong and abiding interior spirituality... to project to all of us who admire you... a lesson in conducting a meaningful life!
Good Fall Painting!

Celeste...Not easy is very true. It's like turning over your control to the paint itself....If that makes any sense.
ReplyDeleteSherry...I agree completely! The lilac scent fills my backyard every Spring.
