"Ranunculus 2"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
I wanted to paint another version of these beautiful flowers, as stated in previous post these guys remind me of peonies thus the reason I like painting them. I've been so busy lately doing other paintings its always good to come back to these alla prima's and have a fresh eye. I believe doing alla prima paintings are essential for painters, it keeps you fresh and allows you to experiment with your own technique. I've been painting flowers for a good while now I have to say its taught me a lot with my own approach to painting. Flowers have an abstract shape to them to me thats what makes them so beautiful, once you think of them as abstract shapes then it becomes easier to paint. What I like about these ranunculus it seems as if the lights radiating from the middle of the flower, it's all in the coloring of the flower and how its dispersed through out its body. It's amazing how mother nature conjured up all these wonderful flowers.
