Lilies

Lilies, Acrylic, 20 x 16"

These are asiatic lilies. They have a wonderful smell and last farely long. A new day brings an open bud. But watch out for those stamens. It will stain everything including your fingers and fabric. I usually pull them off before that happens. I like the light and shadow in this painting.

  1. One of my favorite flowers in the garden, Marion. There is nothing to compare to their scent - especially the stargazer lilies.

    It was wonderful getting to meet you in person at the opening reception of the show I have paintings in at the Delaplaine Art Center yesterday! I really enjoyed talking to you, and hope we get to see each other again some time.

    Thanks also for following my blog. Your work is beautiful!
