Description

#6 in the garden series! Black Calla Lilies
I'm trying to choose different colored flowers for each of these, but I also want them to be naturally occurring colors. So this is going to be my darkest/near-black flower, since there are no naturally true black flowers. They're all really dark shades of maroon or purple. :)

I'm half done with this series. I'm planning on there being 12.

Watercolor and white goauche. 2.5 x 3.5"

Limited Edition ACEO prints available on my website HERE.

A Calla Lily plays a role in the play that I am writing right now.  So I've been looking at artwork on them, and this one is excellent. It has a theme to it that is similar in kind to the flower being related to my one character in a metaphorical way.  Anyway, this artwork of yours visually shows a relation between the two in a different way, but a relation nonetheless, which is excellent. The leaf color is echoed in the girl's eyes, and the color of the petals, is echoed in the girl's hair. Also the tip of the petal can be seen echoed some underneath her eyes. Well done. I might be ordering myself a print of it.
