| White Lily Christmas Still Lie |
I received a gorgeous Christmas floral arrangement with red roses, red ribbons, evergreens and white lilies from friends who live near me. I am thoroughly enjoying the arrangement as a centerpiece on my table between two Christmas taper candles, but also have been taking it to the studio with me and painting it. At the point of delivery, most of the lilies were closed, but by Christmas day, six lilies in total had opened. I knew lilies had a scent but these were heaven.
I chose a 20" x 24" canvas and expanded the still life on either side of the lily centerpiece with a gold wire trimmed angel and some holly leaves and berries. I plan to work on making the right side background look a little darker, and somewhat richer as if a tapestry. I'll probably leave the left background alone, since it looks like hints of a dangling mistletoe.
