Description
I have the inquisitive mind of an artist looking for ideas. This led to painting the series of Cala Lillies.
I enjoyed the beautiful lines of the Cala Lillies I had photographed earlier in the year. The thought of painting them in photo-realist oils appealed to a sense of adventure. These creations became a challenge to my perfectionism with detail.
This image caught my imagination just because of its sheer beauty. I wanted to capture the visually sensual beauty in the shape and waxy luster of the lily. It was a challenge to work the colours faithfully. Something I am beginning to discover is this. A painter will capture more colour than a camera. I will not undervalue the wonderful world of digital photo art finding its place on our walls.
Why consider the Lillies?
Why do you consider the Lilies, you might wonder! Lillies never toil nor worry about how they will grow, nor will they wonder at the kind of beauty and glory in their maturity of display. Think about it, they just reflect and display their own glory for us to admire, as designed by a master craftsman’s desire. I think the marvel of beauty in this work deserves to be on display in the interiors of homes from London to New York, Paris to Sydney wherever good taste is appreciated. Not only a beautiful work of art, the allegory written, with intention, is a heartfelt inspiration to meditate upon for your wellbeing. As a guideline toward peace in your own heart, you are as special as this Lily.
God has given us a wonderful world to live and play in and my exhortation is, “Don’t get so busy building your empire that you forget to stop and take the time to appreciate the beauty God has planted before your eyes”.
The origianl painting belongs in the home of Claire Fisher, New Zealand.
