Twin Flames
Twin Flames is painted from my all time favorite amaryllis plant. I have grown it for years and the way the petals fringe slightly in the flowers from this bulb never fail to delight me. After awhile I simply gave all the other bulbs away.
These flowers have an enthralling inner light glow which draws one deep into the painting. The distinct green deep in the flower emphasizes this effect. Sometimes a blush of the faintest shades of red appears on the petals, creating more interest in the flowers. A combination of warm and cool colors adds vibrant sparkle to the painting.
This painting is sold quickly after completion and flew away in someone’s private jet. However, to give this image as a gift or to enjoy for yourself, see the giclee prints of the painting.
I absolutely love this painting! It is soo gorgeous. The soft colors of red and blues that make these flowers come alive. The glow is so hard to capture and you did a wondeful job catching the shadows and light in this painting. It looks so life like. The way the fringe at the edge of the flowers is so delicate looking. I cannot do this great of brush strokes! Im VERY impressed.
