Kelly - Painting 43

(Oil pastel, 9x12)

...the third (and last) in the trillium series, Trillium flexipes. The blossom on this plant is interesting because the petals curve back over the sepals. To show this, I painted the flower from behind.

  1. Yes:) I love this view, as with your whole trillium series. The flower compositions break the picture plane, and become so up-close, personal, and vibrant.

  3. I went for a walk the other day and saw some trillium -made me think of this painting so I'm revisiting it . It captures the delicacy and the colors so well.
