ABSTRACTED TULIP FLORAL PAINTING BY OLGA WAGNER

I am working on a few florals for my upcoming March and April Shows. While my animal paintings and portraits are on the side of Contemporary Realism, my florals tend to gravitate towards the Abstract realm. Here we have a trio of pink tulips on a very contemporary background with lots of texture. This painting went through many color changes, before it finally spoke to me..Hope you like it too!

LONE PINK TULIP on BLUE

My brother asked to work on a tulip arrangement for him...I feel like I need to work on a few singular flowers to get an hang of this simple looking yet quite intricate flower...My hubby is one who truly appreciates this beautiful flower. We must have around 300+ tulip bulbs in the ground waiting to come up this spring...

I took some time last night to prime a bunch of smaller canvases and panels. It's nice to have a bunch ready to go when inspiration strikes. Lately I have been using Colored Gesso by Holbein. It's rather pricey, but the coverage and color that you get from Holbein is worth every penny! Orange is my favorite by far, but I also use the red on a regular basis. I like to use a palette knife to apply the gessoe as it adds a bit of texture to the canvas, and I love texture...
