After painting an intricate waterlily, I realized my happiness is found when painting photo-realistic flowers. Not to mention, flowers are similar to snowflakes: no two are ever the same. Hard-earned techniques from my first oil painting definitely helped, but I also roamed into foreign waters with this piece. Intensifying wisteria hues with bright, vibrant colors added layers of depth. I desperately wanted to capture this, and after many hours of dedication, I can truly say I am pleased with the results. I enjoy using abstract canvas sizes, so the taller canvas aided me with selecting the flower images at the very start of this learning experience. My methodology was quite structured, in that I selected an area and worked there for the time being; once I was satisfied, I moved on to the next section.
