Creating art from different angles.

 A few years back I painted a Calla lily.
It was a special painting, as I had never painted a flower with such detail.
Fortunately for me, and a lot of revisions I finally got it right.
Any flower I have painted since, I have liked but never as much as the gorgeous white Lily.
It has been my Pride & Joy.
It is Painted in Acrylics
on canvas 
12" X 24"
SOLD

Recently I had a chance to see a bouquet of Calla Lilies and in looking at them I realized that the beauty and simplistic form of this flower formed a perfect spiral when I gazed at it from above.
At first I thought That nobody would know what I was painting.
But then as I gazed at my work in progress I realized that it was so obviously a flower.
A delicate exquisite flower.

Here is the Finished painting.
Acrylics on Birch Panel
20" X 20"
"Lily Rising"

Detail of the flower center;

I hope you like it.
This was a real challenge to me, 
but, in all I think it turned out quite well.

Comments and critiques are welcome.
Later all
