Flower sellers at Embankment

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Last weekend I was invited to a friend’s birthday party. I took the narrow pedestrian street with antique second floor walkways between the buildings towards Embankment to find on the bottom the stall of these friendly ladies trading with the fresh tulips of any color imaginable. Mini picked out the pink ones, and the bouquet was ours; with  nice stylish touch added to it – presented with a tissue paper wrapping instead of the usual plastic ones.

Here’s the last addition to the party around the table I have been working on this week. It have been such fun exercise (escape from February flurries) I hope to continue on the theme for a bit longer.

sring flowers, mac, still life, oil painting18×24 cm, oil on board, 2008, private collection

I set up this still life with the first spring flowers I got at the babushkas’ on my mac to get ourselves into the spring mood.  Mac’s whiteness really underlined the various shades and  nuances of the white flowers – there is so much more color in them.  I must tip off my hat to those bucolic flower painters, it’s hard work to get those little leaves and petals straight!
