Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
This is an image of an original oil painting on canvas from my 'Tulipmania' (tulip mania) series, a part of my general 'Florals' series. It depicts pale pink parrot tulips with green streaks through the petals.
I found the pink - green colour contrasts lovely, the breaking up of the main colour, pink, with green streaks an interesting feature. To me, these colours evoke early spring time.
My painting is almost as detailed as traditional botanical illustrations, yet I like to give my subjects a painterly look with some bold, free, textural brush strokes. The colour and shape streaks that occur naturally in parrot tulips is fascinating and an interesting challenge to capture in paint.
The large size of my original oil and acrylic paintings (this one is 36 x 42 inches) gives the subject a dramatic quality, as the flowers are enlarged many times from their original size (of course, prints are available from small to large sizes).
My aim is to draw the viewer into the artwork to contemplate the beauty of the colour combinations and interesting abstract, sculptural qualities of the flowers, and to appreciate and be awe-struck by the wonders that occur in nature.

Fiona,Here I am again. It is not because your art work is a form of realism which most people understand and enjoy and I do too. It is not because you have mastered oil,watercolor and pastels, which you have but because the flowers you paint have personality. Your artist gifts show in the multiple ways you present each flower and group,that you paint. Each is a flower portrait. Your photos are good but your paintings are Masterpieces. I will continue to follow you -Susan Brown
