Miniature White Lily Painting

Posted in Art Work, and Peeking Behind the Easel

Just in time for Easter, here is my newest painting! This pretty little white lily painting measures 5 x 3 inches. Perfect for tabletops, shelves, mantels and even an Easter basket.

The lily is painted on a gallery wrapped miniature canvas. It stands on it’s own, and can be wired to hang on a small nail or thumbtack as well.

I used reference photos from a trip to my favorite place to see flowers: Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. I took a number of photos of white lilies, and Easter lilies in full bloom. I just love the look of the soft elegant white petals against the dark green leaves. I used the same idea in this painting with the black background to recreate that contrast. I used layers of gray and white, and a touch of purple for the petals and blue greens for the leaves. This beautiful miniature artwork can be found listed on my Etsy art shop: Sibstudio.

What’s On My Easel

This lovely small painting of a pink tulip is my newest finished painting. It is a beautiful pink tulip surrounded by gentle curving tulip leaves. The painting is a 5 x 6 inches wrapped canvas. The painting wraps around the sides of the canvas.

I took the reference photo on a trip to Longwood Gardens. They have the most beautiful flowers in the world. Well worth a trip if you are headed for southeastern Pennsylvania.

This beautiful pink tulip stood out in a giant sea of light and dark pink tulips. It was an easy decision to decide what to paint after my trip and a phone full of flower photos. Look for this painting to be posted on my art shop in the next few days.
