Margy's Lilies

Margy's Lilies 10" X 12" Original Oil Painting on Canvas Board






















While I was in Rhode Island, I had an opportunity to hang out with the owner of one of the fabulous old mansions that Newport is so famous for. The house was amazing but I preferred the beautiful grounds. Dodging the sun and the poison ivy, I found a quiet shady spot to set up and paint these beautiful lilies. Thanks, Margy, for a delightful morning well spent.

  3. Hi Hope! I met you at Slocums while I was gardening and you were working on this piece. It turned out beautifully and I love the rest of your work that I've seen online! It was lovely to meet you! Hope you had a delightful rest of your visit in Newport!

  5. These are nice. The lilies "read" so well. I think flowers are really tough to do.
