Nancee Brown paints large scale intimate Flower Portraits. By exaggerating the scale she can illustrate the intricate details found in the innermost folds of the petals.

Working on a large scale she can bring you into the flowers to appreciate both the geometry of its construction and the organic nature of its petals and leaves. It is this dichotomy of forces that unite to create such dynamic and fascinating images.

There is also an element of having us stop and really look at something that we don’t often see close up. Painting the flowers up close and personal is a way to force us to slow down and really look at what we are seeing. The world whizzes by us at such a fast pace that part of my goal is to stop and smell the proverbial roses!

I hope you can pause and embrace the beauty of my flowers and that they will make your heart sing!

Real drama is created by the black background against the luscious orangey-red petals. The centre of these flowers is surprisingly conical!
