Magnolia Study

"Magnolia Study".

This painting is an oil painting on a 6x6 inch museum series Ampersand Gessbord panel. It is an alla prima still life painting of some home grown magnolias. Living in the hills, these flowers often spring up right before spring arrives, and are a welcome sign after some very cold winters. Their stunning pink and white tones offer a pop of colour, lasting mere days, before they are often blown away by the local mountain breeze.

This painting comes unframed. It is a 3mm panel so may fit in may standard 6x6 inch frames, with any backing boards removed. Alternatively, arrange to have your work framed through Bluethumb. This work comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
