Dahlias with jewellery

This is a still life flowers in a jar. I added my own earrings, hairpins and comb to give the painting more character and to make this piece more personal. Original painting by Alicia Bowdren. Framed and ready to hang.

I always had the need to draw and paint ever since I could remember. I work mostly with acrylic paint but i also dabble with oil and watercolor. My work is mostly of subjects of the natural world such as landscapes and plants. I have set out to express my love of nature and to show it in a different perspective through art. I’ get my inspiration from eastern and western art, bright elaborate colors and whimsical subjects which are the main ideas I use in my work. I usually play around with an idea for a painting by doing several sketches a few weeks before I finally put it onto canvas. In between that time, I’m almost always sketching, doing watercolors and editing previous work. Painting gives me purpose and satisfaction that I hope people will enjoy.
