Amaryllis Red
12x12 oil on canvas
This amaryllis painting gives the illusion of being much larger than its actual dimensions of 12 x 12 inches. Painting is all about illusion. An artist is often trying to recreate a three dimensional world in two dimensions... and when it works it feels sooooo good. Sort of like when you swing a golf club and it connects with the ball and you hit a nice clean shot down the fairway... this analogy may give any of you who golf a sense of the feeling of accomplishment and joy an artist feels when the brush connects with the canvas in just the right way.
Later on, at the 19 hole, you get to share your experiences with other artists... (I mean golfers.)
Amaryllis Red is now hanging the front entry hall of a home in Ontario.
