Joy's Magnolia, a magnolia flower blossom painting.Click on the thumbnail to get the full view, and enjoy!
A native of the southeastern US., it is one of the most magnificent of the fragrant trees. It has large, thick, leathery dark green leaves which are up to 10 inches long. In the spring, they have a golden to rust color on their undersides. The large evergreen trees may grow to 90' tall, and the fragrant white magnolia flower blossoms that have smooth, almost velvet-looking petals are 8-12 inches across. It is the state flower of both Mississippi and Louisiana. Mississippi is called "The Magnolia State" because it is our state flower, and because of the large number of natural growing magnolia trees. Here in Virginia, they thrive. But you gotta have a big yard to grow them! (Unless you get a smaller hybrid variety) The magnolia flower has been the subject of paintings for hundreds of years. Around here, because of their flagrance, and size, they work well as dining room center pieces. I use a 400 year old Flemish technique that involves painting in layers. This produces superior results both in the effects that are found in the work, and it's longevity. It is guaranteed to last a lifetime without fading/cracking if kept out of direct sunlight under normal room conditions. I've been painting using the multi-layered technique in oils since the mid 70's and have never had a single painting returned for rework due to craftsmanship or materials defects. Actually, I've never had one returned for any other reason either. Once you have a beautiful piece of art in your hands I guess folks like to hang on to it. Close up views will show the depth and details not usually found in paintings today. I've also included one that is not to exact scale, but gives you a good idea of it's size compared to some furnishings. I know you will enjoy hanging this in your home as much as I did in creating it! Hey! I'm gonna include FREE SHIPPING within the US.
