 Essay

Rossi’s attraction to flowers is due to her fascination with the various forms, colors and textures which provide an endless source of examples and artistic inspiration. Composition and floral arrangements provide the foundation to painting beautiful floral still life. Botanical drawings and paintings have their own special place in her heart. “Lily” is a study of a botanical subject to create an interpretation of a flower with realism. Usually, she paints abstracts but once in a while she wants to try something new such as botanical drawings and paintings. She painted this “Lily” with Winsor/Newton, Utretch and Senelier handmade oil colors on an acid-free Archer Aquarelle paper.
