Roses, Apricot and Pink floral painting on canvas , floral artwork, original

Roses, Apricot and Pink is a floral painting .  An original work of art painted by hand directly in the garden from living flowers.  Because the season is short and lighting moves You are only able to capture very few blossoms compared to the bounty of the garden.  These roses were painting in Giverny in the famous Baudy Garden.

One might ask why not just take a photo of the blossom.  Camera's lie.  The human eye can see a thousand times more nuance of color and lighting than the camera and even though the cameras of today are better they are no match.  Then it just becomes a matter can your skill level, energy and timing match what you see and of course the better you become the closer it is to what you are seeing.  Painting is not the same as photography and the goals are not the same.  It takes a lifetime to learn art and to gain the skill but sometimes the results surpass your expectations.
