256 - FLORAL DESIGN - 04 - DAVE EDWARDS - ACRYLIC & INK - 2009

I started this a few days ago and made a mess of the flower. I was trying to use colours I don’t usually use. In the end I even contemplated scrapping the picture and then, remembering I was using acrylic paint, I decided to paint the flower white and start again and I feel it worked for me.

Don’t try to identify the flower – it only exists inside my head :)

    Excellent. Love those touches of shadow on the edges of the cobbles and blue leaves.

    I thought you might notice them. They are more noticeable in the actual painting.

    This is a beautiful work, Blythart. The white flower came out fantastic with those pieces of brick as background in a great composition. GP

    I could see this as a wonderful mosaic or stained glass, and it looks beautiful as it is now too.

  • BLYTHART replied

    Thanks a lot for that perceptive comment. Although I don’t make mosaics or stained glass they have inspired me on many occasions, as have patchwork quilting and collage.

    It is a daisy of sorts but very interesting. Love the orange mosaic background. Fantastic composition and colour. Not an artist at all but I know what I like.

  • BLYTHART replied

    Thanks for your comment. It might be a daisy :) It’s purely imaginative; not based on any particular flower.
