White Poppy Linda Rupard

This is another painting I painted for our Caboose show inspired by   old Masters  paintings.   This is a painting inspired by Georgie O'Keeffe's big flowers.   20 X 24 gallery wrapped canvas with sides painted to match painting so no frame needed.   A quote from Readers Digest explains O'Keeffe  as larger then life just as her paintings were often larger then life, so too were the lore & legends surrounding  this extraordinary woman.   I used a artificial poppy to paint this flower.   O'Keeffe used artificial flowers too because living in the dessert  live flowers weren't as easy to come by as the artificial ones.  Our reception will be tomorrow night  5:00  to  7:00   at the Heritage Museum in Big Spring.

Fruit & Flowers Linda Rupard

This is another painting I finished in Jan van Huysum's style.  Jan painted mostly still-life set ups of flowers & fruit.  He was a painter during the 18th century & one of the first flower painters to use the dark backgrounds to  make  his flower colors pop.   This was done in the old Master's style on
gallery wrapped canvas with edges painted to match front .  20 X 24.   The Caboose group has their old masters style paintings  show up during May at the Heritage Museum in Big Spring , TX.    Reception is Friday 5:00---7:00 May 24th.  Most of the artist will be there so hope to see some friends there.
