A Rembrandt Tulip and a bunch of roses, both of these paintings are and open expression of feelings. I was trying to create a mood or "impression". The use of non traditional colors for the tulip and the background plus the white highlights evoke a feeling of large focus on the flower making the viewer push away or into the picture as they interpret the meaning of the painting.
The rose painting is more of a standard or traditional style with large yellow and red roses.The smaller daisies and surrounding leaves and white flowers bring the composition together filling the canvas with flowers everywhere!
I really like flowers and as I look back I can see in the old masters like Monet and Van Gogh and thousands of others trying to catch a piece of mother nature.
Picasso said it took him years to learn to paint like an old master, but a lifetime to learn to paint like a child.
Okay kids let's get out our paint a catch a flower.
