When are flowers  ConTemporary Art?

We all love paintings of flowers and I love to paint flowers.  However let’s face it, this is a subject that has been done to death.  So when I paint flowers I try to give them a touch that makes them contemporary.  By this I mean it has to be flowers and flowers are by definition beautiful.  So what do you do to make flowers beautiful and modern and interesting.  Here are a few of the flowers I have done.  As you can see I simplify them and abstract them.  I use vibrant colors or I tone down colors. But I make sure they are always recognized as being flowers.  I paint and draw bouquets that either we have or I see from life. I bring in a flower or flowers and make it into a painting.  As a last resort I use photos I take when I don’t have time to paint them.  I have spent a lot of time in Hotels doing paintings and drawings of their beautiful flower arrangements.  Enjoy them.​
