This abstract flower painting is a very bold impression of pretty pink bulbs ready to burst into life.
I used very heavy abstract paint so everything really lifts off the canvas, giving an abstract impasto 3D effect that is lovely to touch as well as to view. I never paint the same painting twice, so you will have a one-of-a-kind original painting.
Why not add a touch of floral artwork to your home or office. It’s also the perfect gift for your relatives and friends.

About The Artist
When I see a canvas, I never get artist's block, I see my next great adventure starting. I'm on a journey without a plan that is constantly evolving. Each brush or palette knife stroke turns into something wonderful that eventually turns into a painting. That Is true art to me, rather than planning every step of the way, but who am I to say?
I am new to painting compared to many other artists and totally self-taught. I never studied at art school and have no art qualifications, but does that make my art unworthy? Can I even call myself an artist? I guess we all have to start somewhere but at least I'm honest enough to admit it and still place great love and passion into every painting I paint.
I have used every painting medium available but found my true love in acrylics. I started painting all sorts of things including trees, waterfalls, fields, sunsets etc. until my wife asked me to paint her a flower painting.
"Paint flowers!" I said, but I gave it a go, and surprisingly my wife was pleased. Since then, I have developed a unique way of painting flowers which I absolutely love. I mix my own heavy-bodied abstract paint and paint Impasto-style impressionist flowers.
Dandelion painting cut from solid pine wood and finished with a clear varnish.
