Mums and Apples {Bountiful Observations no. 4} SOLD

Still Life with Mums and Apples

{8" x 8" (20.3 x 20.3 cm) – oil on canvas panel}
SOLD
Framed painting: $300.00 starting bid + S&H

With this series, each new composition presents an opportunity to investigate new ways to convey the beauty and textural diversity found in flowers. In this painting I wanted to share the impression of a mass of flowers and stems surrounded by shiny apples, so instead of depicting the mums individually, I focused on the mass of yellow and how the flowers in shadow edged to violet.

Everything just seemed to fall into place, impressions captured and conveyed. It was a joy to paint.

{14" x 14" (35.6 x 35.6 cm) with frame}

And it's a joy to view!

Even before I read you comments, I was loving how the mums were painted as a mass. Really beautiful, Liz!
