I like producing a painting of a flower that is two or three times larger than it is in real life. This is a white flower and I wanted to simply show how the petals overlapped by creating the cast shadow. Then there is the form shadows that help to make the petals appear three-dimensional by creating a variegated wash of color. The contrast created by the white of the petals really makes the flower stand out from the dark background. The bee was the important part of the painting, which only took a couple of minutes to paint. If you recognize this flower, let me know what it is. I am not sure if it is a rose or a camellia.
