NO SECOND CLASS SUBJECT

7 Comments


I really love to paint flowers.In my 3- days-workshops the first day usually is reserved to paint lilacs,peonies,sunflowers,whatever blooms and attract the eyes.These flowers are Almost all I know by name.But when I say its flower-time I quite often see not very much enthusiam in the faces of my students.Some simply might think,why should I stress myself to paint a secon-class- subject.Yes,students can be picky.But with that they simply ignore,that their great idols,Monet,Renoir,vanGogh etc painted flowers their life long,creating fantastic paintings.Big advantage of a flower- still life:The brightest,most beautiful colors are right in front of your nose.Much easier to grab these colors than the often washed out color range of landscapes.Start your workshop or your paint session with flowers and u have a great chance to end up with a pleasant piece.Start into a workshop with landscapes you have a great chance to be frustrated at the end of the first day.

I love to paint flowers Mr. Guido! You really know how to hit a home run.

Your work is inspirational. I try very hard to paint, but just can't paint the beautiful landscapes I want. Love to paint flowers, but they just look like marks on canvas and you can't tell what they are. Mostly abstract, i guess, but most don't like that type painting. Seems to me that more people want a photo type painting of whatever, landscapes, florals, etc. Hopefully my paintings will improve. I love your style as to me its very impressionist, loose, and has much meaning. That is the way I hope to paint one day. Keep up your wonderful work!!!

I enjoyed the freedom with which you painted your floral. Your brush strokes seem joyful.
I too like to paint florals in a variety of containers or just by sitting in a garden.

What a refreshing perspective on the humble flower as subject matter! As someone who works with color daily at Painters North Port, I'm constantly telling clients how floral palettes can inspire interior choices. The brilliance and depth you mention in flower studies reminds me of how we approach color selection for homes - seeking that perfect balance of vibrancy and harmony. Your comparison between the direct richness of florals versus landscapes resonates with our philosophy that sometimes the most beautiful inspiration comes from nature's smaller canvases. Lovely article that celebrates the artistry in what some might overlook.
