„Spring's First Magnolia 2“

from the gallery of eloiseart
Description:

This first blossom on our magnolia tree was so perfect that I couldn't resist painting it - twice! There is the landscape version (also called side to side, east to west, and horizontal) and there is also a portrait version (up and down, north to south, or vertical). With both paintings, the majority of the paint for the blossom itself was applied using an impasto technique, which incorporates the use of a palette knife. The leaves and background were done with a brush.
Understated tones of peach and blue gently remind the viewer that nothing in nature is truly all one color. The white of the petals is enhanced by the subtle undertones, while shadows from the magnolia tree of which it is a part gently play across the petals.
................................................This work could easily fall in either the traditional or the impressionist genre, although it would also fit beautifully with other motifs, blending with modern styles as well. Lovely in a living room, bedroom, dining room - truthfully, gorgeous in any room of the house. Also a lovely addition to any business decor. The tranquility of the piece makes it more than suitable for a waiting room, since it does seem to have a serene and calming effect on its viewers.
................................................The other version of this magnolia blossom is also available in my Artflakes Gallery.
