Thanks, Helen! I have a huge gardenia bush outside my front door. It's had hundreds of blooms. I'm painting as many still lifes of them as I can before the heat gets them.
Rahina, thanks - this long retangular format reminds me (for some reason) of reading sheet music. I tried to pay attention to the rhythm in the composition.
I love the composition and the length of the painting reinforced by the horizontal lines. It has a direct simplicity that is memorable :plain glass, against a duo plain background enriched only by light : no distracting patterns but the impact is from the flowers themselves. Although I am not a painter I can see how you worked with many colours to show white in all its glory. Beautiful!
I'm an representational artist, working mostly in oil and drawing media. I'm currently painting portraits, figurative works, landscapes, still life and other genres as they occur to me.

A lot of flowers died to make this painting!

Thanks, Anonymous - your comments are very kind and I really appreciate them.
A very beautiful and elegant picture. The flowers are gorgeous and classy.
Thank you, Shelley. Gardenias are elegant and earthy at the same time, aren't they!
