"Morning Light on Yellow Hibiscus," is a contemporary floral painting of the delicate beauty of a single yellow hibiscus flower. This painting delivers a lush impressionistic style, emphasizing the vibrancy and essence of the flower through the use of color and texture. The hibiscus, with its soft, sunlit petals, is presented in a simple, rounded vase, drawing attention to its elegant form.
The background of the painting is a rich, textured blue that provides contrast to the golden tones of the flower. This deep, layered blue backdrop adds a sense of depth and atmosphere to the composition. The surface on which the vase rests is rendered in swirling hues of brown and gold, which infuse the piece with warmth and balance the overall color palette. This choice intensifies the sense of light interacting with different surfaces, capturing a precise moment as morning light bathes the scene.
The inspiration behind this work stems from observing the transformative
effects of light as it interacts with natural elements, particularly how it strikes the petals of the flower and the surrounding table. Textured brushstrokes, value, and color define the flower’s petals and communicate a moment of bright tranquility, offering viewers a glimpse into the transient yet captivating interplay of light and nature.
This 16 inch by 12 inch artwork is painted on a 1.25 inch cradled wood panel. The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look and it is fitted with finger friendly wire, ready to hang.
