Still a ways to go. Working on the last rose and then for the details. I have to work on my picture taking skills. The color here seems so dull. This painting is very rich in color. There is deep navy and purple that the lens is not picking up. Believe it or not. I did not use black at all in this painting. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #interiordesign #design #painter #rosepainting #flower #floral #orchidpainting #whiteroseroserosepainting

The lighting here is a bit dim. The background is a rich deep purplish navy. Roses are one of my favorite subject. I find them to be incredibly beautiful and mysterious. This current painting is based of a photograph I took myself. I adjusted the colors for a more romantic feel. I imagine these would look amazing on a dark wall. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #interiordesign #design #painter #rosepainting #flower #floral #orchidpainting #whit

I am trying out a different color pallet and I am really loving it. I usually paint in bright colors but this time around I kept it very toned down. I am working with five colors and a deep navy as the primary color. I think will make a bigger version of this. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #interiordesign #design #painter #rosepainting #flower #floral #orchidpainting #whiteroseroserosepainting #roserealism #hyperrealismrtose #finearts #virgi

Just finished this 16" x 20" acrylic on linen. It was such a fun painting. I loved working on his eyes and watching him come to life. I really enjoy painting toys. I believe there is more to come. Just off my easel. This 8" x 8" is an oil painting. I haven't used oils in a few years because I have not been able to stand the smells. I am working my way back to it. I love oils! They are easier to work with when trying to achieve a certain look. This was a quick morning study. L

Just off my easel. This 8" x 8" is an oil painting. I haven't used oils in a few years because I have not been able to stand the smells. I am working my way back to it. I love oils! They are easier to work with when trying to achieve a certain look. This was a quick morning study. Looking forward to trying another tomorrow. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #interiordesign #design #painter #rosepainting #flower #floral #orchidpainting #whiterose

This is currently on my easel. Painting this gorgeous rose and crazy idea that came to. I don't know why, I just do it. I never though I would enjoy painting a bandaid but I am. About half way through here. This is an 8" x 8" painting. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #interiordesign #design #painter #rosepainting #flower #floral #orchidpainting #whiteroseroserosepainting #roserealism #hyperrealismrtose #finearts #virginiaartgallery #virginiafi

This is currently on my easel. All my paintings are based on images I have photographed my self. I take several shots until I feel I have captured the right look I am going for. I am currently very fascinated with having big flowers on canvas. I want it to feel very natural and look realistic but still very much a painting when up close. Hydrangeas are a new favorite flower. There are so may varieties of hydrangeas and I wan to paint them all! Maybe impossible to paint them a

Here is the two paintings "Endless Blue Summer" left, and "Some Like It Blue" on right. Both measure 36" x 36". They are very bright pieces ready to brighten up a special room. Progress images. Second blue hydrangea painting in progress. . Note: Currently working on the painting on the right. I am just about done with the second set of hydrangeas. I have learned a lot through these two pieces. I know I will be working with large florals and up close shots. I really like feel

"Some Like It Blue" - This 36" x 36" painting is from a picture I recently took. Flowers are all so fascinating to me. When I started painting them in large scales I started noticing how beautifully and wonderfully God has made each one. There are so many varieties of every kind of rose, hydrangea, etc. They may all seem the same but hey aren't. Each petal has it's own unique shape and color. They follow the same pattern but yet still unique. I find this so interesting becaus

A fun little painting I just completed. I needed to do something fun while I am working on my large rose painting. I did not go super realistic but realistic enough to capture his cuteness. This painting is an 8" x 10" acrylic. #Blog #finearts #ErikaLozano #painting #Beautyandflowers #artist #interiordesign #design #painter #roses #rosepainting #flower #floral #orchidpainting #whiteroseroserosepainting #roserealism #hyperrealismrtose #finearts #virginiaartgallery #virginiafi
