CYCLAMEN SOLITAIRE

"Cyclamen Solitaire" a was painted with a portrait approach. Rather than painting the entire plant with its many blooms, the artist took one flower and portrayed its ballet-like petals in a cameo style, with a leaf in the background to highlight its dance-like movement. This dramatic flower portrait is done in olive, moss and celedon greens, accenting the flower in magenta, rose and pink along with tints of taffeta white. There are touches of lavender and mauve with cocoa colors.
