Oil Painting of Lilies, Satin Cloth, Grapes and Rose, 12" x 17", Oil on Canvas Panel

"Rebirth"
SOLD







With Easter, Spring, and Passover just around the corner, I felt a painting that encompassed the symbolism of this season was called for. The whole season of spring and it's holidays makes me think of rebirth, freedom and celebration of life.

There's a few symbols in this painting. Some obvious, some not. See if you can find a couple. I used some cool colors in this painting to offset the beautiful green leaves and red tones in the fruit and flower at the base. Even the color of the cloth was chosen carefully. It has meaning too.
To see how this painting was done, click on the link below after 8:30 PM tonight.

Oil Floral Painting of Tiger Lilies in Pewter Vase, 9" x 12"

"The Pewter Vase"
SOLD









I'm not sure if "vase" is the right word for this little gift I received from my friend upon her return from the sunny south. It has a lovely patina that, unfortunately, translates to grays in paint so I included the Tiger Lilies to add some color.
