White Flowers in a Glass Jar Painting

Delicate still life painting. The brushwork is bold and the paint applied in thick impasto and dry brush outline in other areas. This medium size oil painting was painted in November 2019. The flowers are botanically called Verbanum opulus. The flowers were picked by me as a volunteer at Birmingham’s Botanic Gardens. They really do impress yet I struggle to remember the plant names in Latin. I was inspired by Henri Fantin-Latour. He produced many flower paintings as did Manet towards the end of his life. The small vase is part of a growing collection of glass and ceramics, most of them from the early 19th century. I think photos of flowers are so flat so oil paint suits their depiction perfectly. This work with it's subdued colour scheme would suit a quiet interior space in your home. https://www.instagram.com/edwardlutchings/?hl=en
