Susie's Floral,
"CAMELLIA WITH GOLD"
40x40inches
Acrylic on Canvas
Textured with Gold Leaf
Commission Completed!
A friend commissioned me to paint a large 40 x 40 inch floral painting for the
centerpiece of her living room to be displayed over the fireplace.
The colors were rich reds, blues, gold and green surrounding a white floral blossom. This painting was a challenge in several ways.
First of all I usually paint smaller paintings, not bigger than 24 x 30. Second I usually paint realistic subject matter, this piece was
more abstract and impressionistic. Third I usually paint with more muted colors, this was really rich in color. All in all I was pleased
with the result and my friend was very excited and loves the painting.
