(WIP) Progress Photo 6/17/18 Working my way from right to left. Currently on my easel. These roses are just absolutely the most beautiful shades of orange, pink and corals. I was working on peonies but had to stop and just paint these lovely roses. Not sure of the exact rose name. I began this painting with a light coral background and actually took the time to sketch the roses out. I normally just wing it and start painting from the center out but since it was three, I want

Finished painting. 8" x 8" Original acrylic on panel board. These peonies graced my garden this. They are stunning flowers. I painted them against a royal blue background which I feel in love with. White and royal blue are so elegant. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #interiordesign #design #painter #portrait #whiterose #roses #rosepainting #flower #floral #orchidpainting #whiteroseroserosepainting #roserealism #hyperrealismrtose #finearts #vir

Finished painting. 18" x 24" Acrylic on linen. It's peony season and I must paint them! I happen to pick the most complicated of peonies. There are several kinds and this one has the most petals that move in every direction. It's a fun challenge with all the color shirts and trying to keep the translucent feel. This one will take some time. Bare with me. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #interiordesign #design #painter #portrait #whiterose #ros

I made this painting for my son. He is growing up so fast and I wanted him to have something that he can look at everyday that reminds him of his childhood. Every plush here has a little story. The funny orange one is a robot I quickly sewed for him when he was five. He wanted a robot plush and I couldn't order one fast enough, so I made one. I have combined my love for colorful abstract and realism. To my son, his toys were real and so kept the likeness. Because of his creat

I have challenged my self to paint white roses these last few weeks. White has been a bit of a challenge for me to work with. I finally feel more comfortable with it. A rose is certainly complex. I have taken pictures of white roses as they wither. I am capturing the beautiful stage of their decay. As they wither I find so many beautiful shades of brown, gold and whites. I'll post the finished pieces soon. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #inte

I was in the mood to paint in bright shades of blue and purple this past week. The graphic designer in me comes out and I want clean smooth lines. This type of painting requires a few layers of the same color and a very steady hand. Lots of patience. I really find this style which comes to me so naturally. I do not sketch or think too much about the subject, I just paint it in very fast to capture the flow. I am framing these and making them available soon. #Blog #finearts #

Just off my easel. I had a few birthday tulips break of the stem and decided to try painting a little more realistic this time around. I do love the results and will try glass again. It's hard to see but there is drop shadows on the canvas. I need to practice my photography to capture better images. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #interiordesign #design #painter #portrait #whiterose #roses #rosepainting #flower #floral

Painting of white roses. Work in progress.

Currently on my easel. "THE GAZE" is a 24" x 36" acrylic painting that is almost complete. This painting is a bit different than my current work and I like where it's taking me. I am now inspired to do another work where there is a full body pose. Unlike most of my previous works, this piece has very calming colors yet it has a lot going on in the background. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #interiordesign #design #painter #vintageart #face #

Currently on my easel. "Spring Waltz" is a 24" x 36" acrylic painting. I was listening to Chopin while painting this piece. I had an urge to paint an iris field. I love iris flowers and I paint them in various styles. This painting has movement in the strokes. Kinda Van Goghish right?! Available in my shop.
