Dad's flowers


This is a tiny painting my father did. I think it was more an exercise or a study than a finished painting, judging by the size. It was fairly loose for him. His teachers always told him to loosen up his style. He was a born super realist. He was after all a surgeon with amazing small muscle control. He listened to them and worked to loosen up , but this is about as loose as it got. I have this as a nice print on watercolor paper. It is blow up to about 10 inches tall. The transformation is interesting because it makes it look loose as the brush strokes are magnified.
