Lillies in Lime Vase

This is something I painted just before I started this blog and completely forgot about.Its much larger than I'm used to and it makes me feel like  working large again.Pink and Turquoise are two of my favourite colours but was it overkill in this painting??

  1. Reminds me of a Van Gogh! Very beautiful. No I don't think it's overkill at all. Love the textured background.

  2. I really like it. It has movement! I've been thinking about painting bigger too. I bought two 22 X 22 frames at a garage sale today.

  4. A Van Gogh style! I am very impressed with the blue and green combination, it is not at all overwhelming, instead lifting up my spirits, it must be a treat to look at this big painting in person!

  5. Azra, this is very appealing! I agree with the others . . . it does have a VanGogh quality to it. Your brushwork has nice movement. I also enjoy painting large!

  7. Thankyou so much Ladies!! I'm absolutely delighted by all your comments,it seems such a long time since I painted this.Maybe when we look at past paintings we think that we have moved on,but everything we have ever done is valuable on this artists journey.Thats what I have learnt from your comments.Does that make sense?
