Lotus Flower Canvas

I have had so much fun working on this commission for a friend!


The inspiration was a lotus flower, India, bright reds, pinks and golds, and a bit of sparkle!


I know it's hard to see, but the petals have pearly highlights, and the background is scattered with gold and red glitter... A lovely sparkle in the sun :)

    1. Thank you! I really appreciate that :) I always carry my paintings over the edges of canvasses, I think it gives a much nicer finish.
