Teresa`s Flower. 9x12, Oils on board.


This painting is from a photograph that a Blogger friend posted on `Paint my Photo` site. Teresa is the name. She did give me permission to paint it. Don`t know what it is called though.

  1. Well done,Vic! The variety of greens and texture are simply amazing! The beautiful little flower petals are very convincing. White is a color that is difficult to portray and you have done it perfectly!!! One of my favorites! Best to you!

  2. Hi Vic,

    You did a great job on this! The lights and dark are very striking.

    It's a Cotton blossom. It's the flower from the cotton plant (as in the fabric cotton) that's currently in bloom in the field behind my house. Soon the blossoms will disappear and there will be thousands of fluffy white balls of cotton in their place.... the field will look almost like snow! Beautiful!

    Thank you for your lovely comment. Also thanks for letting me know what flower it is, and what happens to it. ( The things you learn on Blogger eh? ) Also thanks for letting me use your photo to paint it. All the best Teresa.

  5. Hi Vic,

    Oh yes, I agree with Linda. You did an amazing job portraying the white of the flower and yes the texture and various shades of greens are outstanding. Absolutely wonderful. Well done my friend. All the best to you.

  6. Hi Joan.
    Thank you my friend for that lovely comment. I have just come in from my studio. I have managed to paint for an hour, and have started another Farnborough Landscape. They have a beautiful Church up there and that would need a couple of days plein air to paint it. I might do that soon. All the best Joan and to your Daughter as well.

    What a beautiful portrayal of this flower. I love your greens. The texture of the flower as well as the center of it is incredible. I am glad Teresa knew the name. Outstanding Vic.
