lisianthus are one of my favorite flowers there's something extra special about their twisted buds and delicate stems. I feel like they are little fouette turns. Or maybe little party crackers. What do you think?
Combining these florals with the fox was an exercise in self control. I think at one point there must have been 100 blooms in this piece - that was when I realized I needed to dial my enthusiasm down a bit! So instead of the actual flowers, I embraced mark making that felt like the lisianthus, and twisted my brush through marbled puddles of paint.
Also, I cannot say enough about this substrate, a gorgeous handmade panel from Bara Woodshaping in Oregon. The wooden surface is glorious to work on, the cradled sides are perfectly balanced, and the panel includes a built in cleated hanging system so that it lies perfectly flat against the wall. It is a stunning presentation. Bara's panels are like fine pieces of furniture, and it's such a treat to get to paint on them.
Here is the link to view Lisianthus larger, peek at her in a room, or to make her yours.
Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork,
All my best, warmly, Kim
