Day 17 Calla Lilies

Calla Lilies (oil, 20" x 16") was Eleanor's idea. She cut the flowers in the yard and arranged them in the vase. The blue velvet is left over from the shadow box from Clay's uncles.

I've never painted a still life in oils before; this was my first attempt. I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I almost feel that I was sculpting the flowers, rather than painting them.
