one tulip from my garden Painting

Hello dear artlover, welcome to my world. I feel a great love for nature. The pure beauty of plants and flowers, especially in a certain light on a certain moment of the day which I first like to capture with a photo that inspires me to use details to create a (light)atmosphere within the oil painting. Most flowers in the paintings are self-grown from my garden. I use the Rembrandt technique for my paintings. This technique is made up of layers, a sketch layer, imprimatura, grisailles and the final layer in oil paint. My paintings take time and patience. Besides this I have a fascination for painting magical realism. My imagination and fantasy focuses mainly on possible future worlds, expressed in plants, creatures and biotopes. My paintings are signed on the frontside with mir and the year. On the backside I wrote my whole name mirjam van overbeek And the title and year of the painting.
