Paintings

There is nothing better than watching something beautiful emerge from a blank, white canvas. One style I use, other than realism, is to paint the pattern that the shadows of the plants and flowers cast. The shapes intwine, repeat and overlap in different ways depending on the light.

The same client that commissioned the piece White Lilies, came back for a second painting.
He said, "Paint another!", and this is what I came up with.

One way method I use to make flowers last longer is to paint them. These were particularly pretty and I wanted something to remember them by.
