Spring Flowers, Oil Painting

2020

Artist Comments
"These spring flowers from a friend's garden made a beautiful and inspiring floral wreath for my model, Samantha," shares artist Sherri Aldawood. In this delicate portrait, Sherri draws the colors from the wreath and extends them into the soft pastels of the background and Samantha's gossamer clothing. Her crossed hands and glowing hair frame her gentle expression.

About the Artist
Sherri Aldawood didn't intend to always paint flowers, but over time her love of gardens started to permeate her art. She focuses on the light and color of the flowers on the canvas. Sherri prefers alla prima, working with wet layers of paint instead of letting them dry. She keeps the paint as wet as possible by using walnut and clove oil to extend the drying time.
