Description

Red lilies in the Northern summer night light. My sister, Ulla-Maija, has grown these lilies on her yard, and she took lots of photos - I've use some of them as references for this painting. Thank you, Ulla-Maija! Still practising painting with oils. Canvas sized 19 x 33 cm (about 7,5 x 13 inches). In this one I tried to learn glazing among hundreds of other things. Bev has helped me a lot with her wise advice, and encouraging me all the time. Thank you, Bev! I've posted to 2D forum some steps of the process of painting these lilies - from underpainting to the final work. You're welcomed to look! Click here to see the steps and discussion!. You can see also some other photos of this finished version, in different lights. Thanks for your interest. I'd be really happy if you've got some time to leave your comment here. Thanks! I so much appreciate your comments, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, for your words under my previous pictures.

The painting is wonderful! But you need to reshoot the photo, there is too much glare off the canvas! This is not a criticizm, the painting is wonderful, but much is lost by the photo.

Thanks guys! :-) Now I've changed the photo; not so good but maybe better than the previous one.

Titta this is wonderful. I love the way you capture light in this. If I'm not mistaken the glazing helped that. The lillies have are really nice velvety sheen, and are very tactile in my view.

Wonderful Titta! This almost gives me the feeling to be in a jungle of big flowers, can feel the heat and hear the birds sing. Thanks for the lesson i 2D Forum too. Even if I don't use oils anymore, i can learn from it.

I love the muted colours in this, Titta. They seem to give it a antique feel in my eyes. Put it in old decorative frame and it will be like a treasure found in an attic :-) Oh sorry, I haven't forgotten out third collab. I've been preparing a collab music project with Jim! These are good days!

Good dramatic colour scheme and bold subject. Glazing is good for those strong colours you can put pure colour on over other colours without destroying there glow. Well done.
