Painting flowers has always been a challenge for me, let’s just say not my go-to subject matter. However, when I submitted this concept to Wellen Park, I knew, these flowers, were ones I could wrap my artist brain around.
Beginning with the large purple bloom, I rendered the shapes, dark to light, then light to dark, and back again, brushing in bursts of color and flashes of sunlight, along with just a few strokes to dazzle the eye.
Now that’s what I call Flower Power!
