This Magnolia was on the largest Magnolia Tree in the United States that is in Washington, Arkansas. You can see a painting I painted looking up into the branches of that Magnolia Tree on my ArtWanted.com site.
Hi Sharon! I've been enjoying browsing through all of your (wonderful and gorgeous) work and this painting especially caught my eye - being in the Memphis, we have a lot of old magnolia trees and recently, we had to cut one down in our yard because the neighboring children were climbing on it, and one fell and broke his arm! But I do miss the sweet-smelling blossoms and lovely shade it provided. Your painting captures the spirit of the Magnolia tree so well! Such delicate and beautiful work, Sharon, I really love this!
I have took every photos at the same flowers that I have on a tree just near my windows. That´s a Magnólia "magni flora".It smell so good,is so sensible and it lives... just a day or a few houres! Your painting show us the delicated petals they have! Very Nice and sweet work, Sharon! (teresaRamalhao)
I love Magnolia trees, I remember the first time I saw one, I was in Awe! this is very beautiful. I love the huge blossoms, you have created the purity of this floral very well, the pale petals enhanced nicely by the lush deep greens.
They have them here in Louisianna too and they are currently in bloom. I just love them they are so delicate, yet strong. Excellent+++ work,, Hugsss Linda :-)
