Morning Pink Torch

These Pink Torch Lilies are some of the waxy tropical flowers that grow in my garden in Jamaica. I painted them in watercolour with touches of pastel for added texture. The strong vertical lines help to give the feeling of vibrant growth and the light airy colour scheme gives a sense of the morning sunshine filtering down between the giant leaves that tower over you as you stand to admire the flowers.

The painting is quite impressionistic and has delicate pinks, yellows and burgundy colours, applied with large brushes and sweeping brushstrokes. Painted on Bockingford heavyweight paper, with Artist quality paints, the materials are archival and guaranteed to last.
