For many years, flowers and nature have inspired me. However, this year has brought an overflow of inspiration from flowers. I have committed to a full year of immersing myself in a realm of imaginary flowers.
The journey of these enchanting artworks began at the start of the year when a 20"X 16" canvas titled "Flowers of my Imagination" was purchased. The collector was thrilled by the vivid colors and the emotive quality of each flower. She expressed falling in love with the indistinct charm of the imperfect yet expressive flowers.
While I am skilled at painting perfectly realistic flowers, the ones that come from my imagination are more enjoyable and captivating for both spectators and collectors.
Now, let's examine the flower artwork displayed below. Which one do you believe brought me more joy during the creation process?
While both are beautiful in their own way and painted by incorporating mixed media, the image on the left features a flower vase filled with flowers from my imagination, whereas the top right showcases another still life painting that could have been painted by anyone. Do you share my opinion? Can you distinguish between the two?
My current favorite subjects to paint are lotus flowers, sunflowers, and flower vases but they always end in the category of flowers from my imagination. - Eileen A Art
 Lotus flowers are absolutely incredible! They hold a deep symbolic meaning of enlightenment and rebirth, inspiring us to embrace new beginnings with every cycle. The intricate details and vibrant colors of these flowers are simply mesmerizing. No matter how many times they are painted, each lotus flower shines with its own unique personality and light. They are not just images on canvas; they come to life and radiate their own energy !
Sunflowers, on the other hand, radiate a sense of warmth and positivity with their bright yellow petals and large, expressive blooms. Always finding joy in capturing the play of light and shadow on the textured surface of sunflower petals and intricate center.
I am determined to keep the garden of my imagination blossoming endlessly. A myriad of possibilities when it comes to creating unique and fantastical flowers. These creations unleash their own unique expression creativity, experimenting with forms, colors, and textures that transcend the boundaries of reality.
Through these subjects, I am allowed to showcase technical skills and emotions, thoughts, and artistic vision, with great outcome. inviting viewers into a world where beauty and imagination intertwine. As I always say; Have fun and create!
Thanks for reading my thoughts; See you next time.
