Casa Blanca Lilies are Oriental hybrid lilies known for their intense fragrances, large flowers (6-8" wide) with curved petals, and rich colors. They are pure white flowers (to 8-10" wide) with contrasting reddish-brown anthers.
It was fun to experiment with warm and cool light on a white flower.... i set this up in a room with overhead/ceiling warm light and focused a cool light on it. the resulting photo had both warm and cool light that was fun to paint.

This is the 2nd flower in a series of 3 flowers. This flower is very common in florist's shops in our area, however i have taken some artistic license with the color.

Here is her note/blurb:
Each Tuesday I will post a new picture that we will draw inspiration for our artwork. Posting of creations will begin the following day, which will be a Wednesday.

You may be inspired to use the entire photograph or you may find you are drawn to a single aspect of the scene, a color or color combination, the composition, or even the feeling the photograph evokes.

Simply allow the scene to speak to your imagination and your heart and create something to share here at "Inspiration All Around Us".

I was inspired to post something when i saw this flower. I wanted to paint it in an unusual way to introduce variety in my work.
