Description
I painted this piece looking at a small fern plant growing near a pond in tropical rain forest gardens of Botanical Garden of Amsterdam.
There are three qualities of a successfully designed room. It should be functional, express a certain mood and exhibit a feeling of harmony.
There are two schools of thought when considering art for interior decoration.
First is to design the whole room and then find a piece that fits. While this might be very successfully applied by a lot of interior designers, I as an artist am in favour of the idea of picking a piece of art that you absolutely love and then use it as an inspiration for rest of the room's color palette.
Among the basics of interior designing is a rule that every room needs a focal point, something that will draw the eyes of the viewer instantly and give the exact mood and sense of harmony you want to achieve.
Among other design elements a great artwork can easily solve that purpose. When picking an artwork concentrate on color, line, texture, proportion, contrast, variety and unity. During the process of decorating while keeping the selected artwork as inspiration, concentrate on looking for elements that help with Balance and repetition of color and line.
Wall art is that finishing touch that can help pull it all together and make your space feel cohesive and stylish. Wall art doesn't always have to be the last piece of the puzzle. Rather If you love an artwork you can plan the rest of your room around it to accentuate the mood and reflect the strong feeling your loved artwork brings into you to every viewer of your decorated room.
Each of my artworks and designs have been created with great passion with special emphasis on contrast, variety of colors and lines, which makes them great pieces to adorn your walls.

Thanks Nancy, It really was a pleasure to paint this one. Although I always feel that I am never able to do complete justice to the actual botanical beauty with my work but at least while painting every single leaflet individually I did give the subject what seemed like a lot of patience. Thanks once again for all your kind words.
