Angel Trumpets
On a trip to San Diego I took some photos of those gorgeous Angel Trumpets at Balboa Park, after I sold the painting, I promised my wife I would paint another one for her, so here is the second one, painted in oil on a 23 by 31 masonite panel.
Born in Salzburg, Austria, retired as bakery owner, took up painting as a hobby, love to paint almost every day, my new addiction is plein air painting.

Very lovely painting, Horst. You did so well that I've thought it was a photo, just from the thumbnail image.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the black background that make the flowers so vibrant and rich. Your depth of value is striking.
