magnolias




This is the canvas I have been working on during the month of June. I have a magnolia tree in my back yard and it is one of my favorite flowers. I do not plan my paintings in advance or sketch them in with pencil. I begin with a brush and move the paint around until I find a sketch that I like. I paint intuitively adding and subtracting as I move along on the canvas. This piece was produced in oil, size 24" X 28:. It would look lovely in a gold frame and hung in a dining room over a buffet or side table.
