Enjoying art is an attitude towards life

Some people like to draw paintings as an expression of skill

Some people also draw pictures to express their living conditions

No matter when

We can all meditate

To feel every detail of life under the brush

△ Elizabeth Floyd:

I like to create art in a fresh, colorful, textured way

Not all beauty is revealed before us

Everyday moments can also have trivial surprises

Every moment is my greatest inspiration

Sublimate everyday moments into art

At Elizabeth's house

She owns a garden of her own

The garden is full of different flowers

This is the birthplace of her artistic inspiration

Whenever her daughter and her friends are playing in the garden

They became the most beautiful flower in the garden

As a child, Elizabeth lived with her family, making furniture with her grandfather, building stone walls with her father, sewing or painting with her aunt, and the happiest thing was helping her mother take care of the garden. These ordinary events have become Elizabeth's fondest memories now.

When she grew up, Elizabeth didn't become a painter directly, but became a professional architect. After nine years of her employment, Elizabeth decided to quit her job, Elizabeth, 35, started trying to paint. She has never received any formal education. For many people, It was a stupid decision to study by herself and then engage in painting full-time at the age of 35, but she showed her love for life.

In order to learn oil painting well, Elizabeth read art-related books , including 55 books related to skills, composition and design, art philosophy and theory, still life painting, landscape painting, figurative art, drawing, artist monographs, gardening and design, etc., such a large amount of accumulated research, She went from an "idealistic" painter to a talented oil painting, flower and still life artist.

Like flowers and draw flowers

Elizabeth learned to draw "flowers" at the age of 35.

Now 51, she has created thousands of oil paintings of still life with flowers

Apply color in a wet-in-wet manner to grasp the tone

Rich and heavy shaping visuals

Let each flower exude all kinds of unique floral fragrance

In every work written by Elizabeth

No matter what the scene is arranged

She always tries to finish all the details as much as possible

Guarantee the authenticity of flowers

Through the depiction of details and the collision of colors

Then strengthen the mutual black-white-gray color relationship in the subject

This thick oil paint and brush strokes make the beauty of flowers full and three-dimensional

Her work is highly rendered

Under the texture of the brush strokes

The whole work creates a strong sense of warmth and tranquility beauty

She creates the most natural state of flowers in natural light

Make use of the powerful observation and sketch foundation in architecture

It conveys the capture and presentation of life aesthetics

Elizabeth, 51, took 16 years to complete her transformation

Although she is not a professional graduate of the Academy of Art

But her observation of life is unparalleled

It's the love of life

Actually, everyone has their own feelings

And Elizabeth let "flower" show new color and life in her oil paintings

Every time I enjoy Elizabeth's oil painting of flowers

It seems simple

But among these simple flowers

We took note of the details she described

This is the most easy thing to overlook when flowers are in full bloom

A close-up shot

Let this oil painting flower fragrance come out of the screen

What love can reach

After leaving the stable construction industry

Elizabeth's artistic creation seems to have made her more fruitful

In some international art exhibitions and competitions

Won the support and affirmation of a large audience

There are also many private and public institutions vying for the collection

Make ordinary life alive

Enlarge the stunning details

No matter when

We can all blossom it in our own way

Choosing from scratch is a careful start

It is also a new cognition and challenge
