Magnolias I
oil on canvas
24 x 18
Portraits are my favorite subject. While I am painting a face, I am one with the person, and there is an exhilaration that comes from achieving this intimacy.
To me, comparing it to painting faces is painting flowers. One of my favorites and one that blooms very early is the Magnolia. I am attracted to it because of its colors, so delicate and nuanced, from white to cream to amazing tints of pink with darker details here and there. I enjoy examining how the light falls on each part of the flower to give it its unique shape and personality. Painting these flowers fills me with joy.
