Contemporary Art Works by Theresa - Snowdrop Flower

Snowdrop Flower

Watercolors

(on Arches Hot Press Watercolor paper - 140 lb)

7x10

2015

The Snow Drop flower is formally known as Galanthus, Greek for milk flower. These are perennials which grow from bulbs. Each bulb generally produces just two or three linear leaves and an erect, leafless flowering stalk. They flower between January and April in the northern temperatures. There are a number of gorgeous Snow Drop gardens in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The short story "The Snowdrop" by Hans Christian Andersen follows the fate of a snowdrop from a bulb striving towards the light to a picked flower placed in a book of poetry.

Contemporary Art Works by Theresa - White Cosmos Flower

2015

The Cosmos is a flowering plant in the sunflower family. Spanish priests grew Cosmos in their mission gardens in Mexico. The evenly placed petals led them to christen the flower "Cosmos" the Greek word for harmony or ordered universe. Cosmos, like many of our warm weather annuals such as marigolds, originated in Mexico and South America.

Contemporary Art Works by Theresa - Calla Lily

Calla Lily

Watercolors

2015

The Calla Lily is a most beautiful flower coming in many colors - whites, rich yellows, and yes, deep burgundy! Native to South Africa where rainfall and temperatures are adequate. It's preferable habitat is in streams and ponds or on the banks. It is the national flower of the island nation of Saint Helena, where it grows widely. Much to my surprise, it has become an important symbol of Irish republicanism and nationalism since 1926 to commemorate the fallen of Easter 1916 and onwards.

Contemporary Art Works by Theresa - Red Rose

2015

A rose, is a rose, is a rose. What more is there to say other than this is my most favorite flower! I am fortunate to have a number of rose gardens. Taken care of with lots of love - after all, a rose is all about love, peace, joy and friendship.

Long a symbol of love and passion, the ancient Greeks and Romans associated roses with Aphrodite and Venus, whom we know as the great goddesses of love. Men have used the rose for hundreds of years to convey messages without words.

Each color offers a distinct meaning: red, the lover's rose, signifies enduring passion; white, humility and innocence; yellow expresses friendship and joy; pink is for gratitude, appreciation and admiration; orange symbolizes enthusiasm and desire; while white lilac and purple roses represent enchantment and love at first sight!

What color is your rose?

As you can see, my painting style changed with this painting - and I love it! It is more loose and the colors are more muted than what I usually do. Its a style I think I will continue.

2014

I have never ever used oil pastels before. I found them to be 'fun'. I first did one gloss of a water color under painting of the flower and then finished it up with oil pastels. They went on easily because of the oil in the pastel piece. They did not make me think of my pastel drawings at all. It was fun.
