African Violet


This is one of my older works. The original abstract mixed media painting is on Arches paper, 12 x 16 inches. It's a stylized but delicately-shaded and textured rendering, with negative spaces that are important to the composition. I tried to convey the sensous unfolding of the pink petals. I used salt to create the textured areas, and a bit of Prismacolor pencil for the thin lines.

Available as an archival print on canvas, at www.lyndalehmann.com . The original framed painting is not for sale. Image c Lynda Lehmann.
