Flower Study #40

Floral Study #40
Lilies in Classic Urn
6x6
Oil Painting on Panel
by Pat Fiorello


This is another in the series based on floral arrangements I did in floral design school.
                                                                 Here's the original inspiration:



I'm not too wild about lilies ( compared to some of my other favorite flowers like roses, hydrangeas, delphinium etc..) and the lilies seemed pretty big in the real arrangement, so I made them smaller in the painted version.  I do think it lost something in translation so this may be one to try over. I just happened to watch the Daniel Keys video on painting lilies yesterday and after seeing that may have some new approaches on handling the big lily.

This was the symmetrical version of this arrangement, but there is also an asymmetrical oen that might be a bit more dynamic composition for painting.
