I knew I had to paint these roses the moment I saw them, and once I placed them in my blue and white striped vase, it was undeniable. The color combination of the pale, coral pink with the vibrant blue was awe-inspiring. The brilliance of the light shining on the outer petals of the roses created such a pale, pinky-orange color, which then lead your eye into the vibrant coral inside and it just felt magical. Not only that, but how the blues on the vase go from airy, sky blue in the light, to the deep, electric blue with a touch of purple in the shadow, absolutely captivated my attention.
I used my brushwork to really emphasize the color changes, contrasts and how they compliment each other without being overwhelming. Multiple layers of varying pinks and corals gave the roses a feeling of depth and texture with their seemingly hundreds of petals.
It’s a celebration of color and texture, ideal for adding a pop of color to a kitchen, bathroom, entryway, bookshelf, or office.

Before this piece, I had tried to paint flowers and would get easily overwhelmed, but after spending time working on my technique and style, this was my first official floral painting. It is an incredibly special piece, as it felt like a new world was opened up to me.
I focused on using my brushstrokes to communicate the colors and textures that I saw. I fell in love with how the dark fuchsia peeks out from in between the lightest pale pink on the petals of the peonies, and the fluffy white puff on the end of the scabiosa stem with which I used slight shifts in gray tones to convey just how full it was. Then there was the rich blue from the vase, it doesn’t take attention away from the flowers, but adds a beautiful focal point with the little bird that is perfectly placed.
This painting is a favorite, and I think it would bring a bit of light and life into a home. It’s just the right size for an entryway, kitchen, on top of a buffet or side board, or as a part of a gallery wall.
