Birthday Flower

Here is one of my most recent paintings I did for a birthday present. I combined a few aspects from my other paintings to make this flower. The color choice was inspired by the receiver and I just love how it turned out.

Inspiration

Last time Jeff and I went to the Cleveland Museum of Art I was inspired by some of Van Gogh's tree paintings. His work has so much expression that I want to capture in my own art. I especially loved this painting I found online.


I decided to make my own version of it and this is how it came out. I loved creating it and I think the free brush stokes give it a lot of movement and character.


I'm excited to use this style of painting in my work to come!
