"Dahlia Delight"
30" x 40"
Oil on wrapped canvas |
Dahlias were in bloom outside the Walled Garden when I was at the Botanic Gardens last month. I found this one swaying in the breeze and had to sync my body to her rhythmic dance to photograph her. Fortunately, we coincided on a few of them and I got a terrific reference photo for this painting.
Amazingly, the background took more time to paint than the gazillion petals of this bloom. I'm delighted with the finished piece, and hope you dahlia lovers enjoy her, too.
