Cactus Flower- original artwork by @mariandavp

in #art7 years ago

Saturday night; everyone is out but I'm working non stop on my painting project; FINCA VIGIA -a new hot bar that opened its doors last week and I was asked to provide the art. The owner is interested in figurative art, only female portraits and nudes.

We have already agreed on a couple of office art pieces (incl. Cubana https://steemit.com/art/@mariandavp/cubana-office-art-by-mariandavp) but I need to work on 4-6 additional artworks until the end of August.

So here it is, the first one exclusively made for Finca Vigia, the Cactus Flower.

Acrylics on canvas, 50x100 cm. I used colors and techniques that I believe will look good in low light and the bar's dark green background.

This is Finca Vigia; a cuban-like bar inspired by Hemingway's books.

Below you'll find a couple of photos from the process.

Very beautiful painting... really good job.
I love this kind of paint . Thanks for sharing ❤

Τhank you very much @paradise, happy you like it!

I didn't really notice until just now something, I am grateful for from you. I saw the painting behind the featured cactus flower in these pictures and it hit me! @mariandavp s art has influenced my style! I'll try to make a post of the painting I'm thinking of, that I was reminded of. But either way, thank you for your inspiring and influential style! Great work, I'm a big fan.

This is such a rewarding comment, thank you so much!!! Looking forward to your post 😊

Very nice. <3

It looks like you've been working hard to paint this picture, so that you don't have time for the other. usually the harder our efforts, then we get any comparable to that we're working on. keep the spirit. @mariandavp ;)

Very true... thank you for your comment @herzaseptian!

Well this is a very sensual and erotic piece of artwork.
Not something I'd see before I am about to go to sleep but hopefully it will give me some sweet dreams to think about haha
@mariandavp this is an absolutely amazing and you never stop blowing my mind with the exceptional work that you keep producing. Such a beautiful concoction of colours, blends, textures and tones. I've never been that great at drawing but I may have a go and make a blog about my progress haha

Well I am glad I can influence your dreams @arckai haha! Thanks so much for your support as always... you should get onto it practice makes perfect!
