kebana is the Japanese art of flower arranging. The simplistic, yet beautiful arrangements can be the center-piece of any room.
I have tried to capture the simplicity of an Ikebana flower arrangement with these blue magnolias on a textured yellow background. The flowers are painted impasto style with palette knives. The stem details are added with brushes.
This painting is acrylic on canvas, sealed with gloss varnish. It is wired and ready to hang.
