This painting will always remind me of my wonderful trip to The Orchideeën Hoeve (
www.orchideeenhoeve.com), a tropical garden center in Luttelgeest, Holland, in July 2011. It was there where I took my reference photos of Chinese lantern plants (
Physalis alkekengi) I used for this painting. This painting is in watercolor and the size is 27x35 cm or about 10.6x13.8 inches.
A beautiful cushion of green to enhance the fruit that really stands out , well done !
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, thank you for your sweet comments.
ReplyDeleteLovely, delicate work Cora. You've really captured the "papery" feel of these plants.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I tried to comment on your previous painting of Liit, the dog. I was about ot post it when everything crashed! Just wanted to say what a great picture it is and how you got so much character in the portrait!
ReplyDeleteCora, I know I've seen these somewhere, and you've done a beautiful rendering of them.
ReplyDeleteOh Cora - how really pretty these are. So eye catching with the complimentary colors. Just a fine job of capturing these beauties. Hope you have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteDeliziosi questi fiori, Cora. Un soggetto difficile, dipinto molto bene. Abbraccio.
ReplyDeleteErg mooi, Cora!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the chinese lanterns Cora. These always look so delicate and so do yours.
