I have recently discovered that my favourite dahlia is actually a small, round and white one. The one represented in the painting was a gift from a friend. This painting evolved after art class was cancelled. I had a beautifully styled setting for my students, but instead ended up painting it myself. Here the dahlia is in the company of a yellow rose from my garden, half a lemon, and some of my beautiful ceramics.
This piece is painted using Australian made, artist quality paints, and is beautifully textured.
