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.
