Ari's Cala

Cala lillies are one fo my husband's favorite flowers. I painted this piece fast year, as an anniversary present for him. I was looking for a way to display the flower in a more unusual view (this piece is much larger than life, about 20"X20") , play with the contrast of lights and shadows and achieve a sense of light emanating from it.

In the end he loved it, which, to me is all that matters (not only because I made it for him, but because he's one of the toughest critics I know!).
