Red Calla Lilies

Red Calla Lilies

6x6in oil on canvas Sold

These smaller calla lilies are the type you buy from the grocery store as a plant. They come in a variety of colors and this particular one has rich, yellow streaking though the red.

I wanted this painting to be rather colorful, playing off the yellow and red in the callas with a yellow vase and an accent of blue by adding the pansy.

Callas With Red

Callas with Red

8x6in oil on canvas 100. SOLD

A dark background sets off the white flower beautifully but I found it had no spark... so after doing my series of red it was a natural to try a bit of red behind the Callas.

Using a different approach helps me determine my personal response to the outcome of these small paintings. I find it interesting how I can enjoy the actual act of painting all of them but only be satisfied with parts of the finished products.
