Royal Gerbera


Now that my radiation therapy Term 3 Clinical is finished, I have time to spend a lot more time on my true love...painting. This piece was commissioned by one of the staff members at BCIT because the gerbera daisy is his wife's favourite flower. Although the photo doesn't show it very well, I actually used metallic gold gouache for the radiant petals so they really stand out. This combined with the cool carbazole violet background gives it a very regal appearance in my opinion. I have been experimenting quite a bit with unusual viewpoints and cropping, this has the potential to turn a common subject into a unique image.
