A Couple Amaryllis Plants
I had to paint those 2 Amaryllis before they wilt, I took a photo for backup, painted in oil on a 12 by 24 canvas panel, needs more work to soften the edges.I submitted this painting to the Wetcanvas Floral group, monthly challenge.
The Wet Canvas Floral group is featuring lilies this month, and the Amaryllis is part of the group. The reveal date is tomorrow - you should submit this one. It's a beautiful rendition - love how they stand out against the dark background.
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.

The Amaryllis are beautiful! Beautiful color and I like the dark background against it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning piece, Horst! That black background makes these beauties shine.

ReplyDeleteI like that there are two of them. It's not typical and it engages me as an active viewer. You have beautiful paintings on your blog.
