White Amaryllis

This amazing bulb has put forth so many blooms; just knew I had to paint it. The yellow is a sash I used to keep the stalk from falling over, push-pinned to the studio wall. A continuation of still life against the grey wall is allowing room for exploration and that's a good thing. We used this set up in the class I teach on Tuesday and the biggest lesson was value. White flowers that are by no means just white, and a light grey wall that wasn't that light!
