'Lilies'

'Lilies'

I enjoyed painting this today. I feel I've been tightening up recently so I gave myself

permission to paint freely and without restraint and to paint what I feel and not necessarily what I see..very liberating and very satisfying to be more expressive again. The lilies were making a statement in themselves as they were huge and the most wonderful cerise pink. I wanted to record them while they were in bloom and at their peek. It was exciting looking at them and I wanted to express that in paint.
