Calla Lily Study

Calla Study

12x9in oil on linen  Sold

I took some of the calla lilies out of the 

previous rose and lily bouquet 

to do a separate study. 

This one was done on

a sheet of Senso - a wonderful, 

clear primed linen -  

leaving the natural color as 

part of the background. 

Artist Note

When I do a study using "paint",

I quickly try to

grasp the essential essence 

of my personal response to 

what I am 

feeling 

as well as what 

I am seeing. 

If I am tackling 

a brand new subject,

I like to do a detailed 

exploration where

I  start with a tight 

and accurate drawing. 

I have many, many 

calla lily drawings.

Love their grace.
