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.
