Asian Lilies One by L. Martel

This is a 6″ x 8″ oil on canvas board that is not yet completed but is coming close. Both are the same picture but the first one is prior to a couple of hours of work. Asian Lilies are one of my favourite flowers. They have an interesting structure, come in intense colours and their scent is powerful and intoxicating.  It has a companion painting which I will post next Wednesday. They usually bloom in the early part of summer. We are having an extreme cold spell today, so maybe this will bring a little warmth to the site.
