Magnolia's Grace in Sunlit Oval, flower

#magnolia, #oval, # framed, #8x10, #flower, #BarbaraHaviland.net
I'm excited to share my latest artwork titled "Magnolia's Grace in a Sunlit Oval." This 8x10 piece, priced at $125.00, is a painting of a large, white magnolia flower with a striking yellow and red center. The flower is surrounded by lush green leaves and a delicate bud in the background. The painting is beautifully framed in an ornate, oval-shaped, golden frame that enhances the vibrant colors and intricate details of the flower. The background transitions from light to dark shades, adding depth and contrast to the piece. Magnolias are my favorite flower, and I wanted to capture their elegance in a unique way by using an oval canvas and frame.

"Wild Irises: A Dance in Purple," This piece captures the vivid hues of wild irises from my garden, highlighting their rich purple petals and bright yellow centers. The 14x11 oil on canvas work features these elegant flowers arranged in a clear glass vase, alongside a softly muted background that accentuates their natural beauty. Creating this artwork was a special experience, as I aimed to convey the graceful charm of these captivating blooms. I hope you find as much joy in viewing it as I did in painting it.
