Painted with summer in mind - this Hamptons-style painting is perfect for a living room, bedroom, or part of a gallery wall.
I painted this from photos I took of the most majestic yet delicate bloom I captured from my back yard Teddy Bear Magnolia.
The challenge of capturing this bloom in oils is that all “whites” and tints are opaque - so creating the feel of shadow and translucence requires a ton of colour mixing and experimentation with hues. It’s why you’ll rarely see impressionistic magnolias in oils.
Though I do hope you love this rendering! Signed on front and back for authenticity.
