"AMARYLLIS' New Original Oil Painting by Mike Callahan


"Amaryllis"
30" x 24"
Oil on Birch

This is a painting I've wanted to paint for some time now...I painted it on a birch panel primed with gesso. I must admit, I'm not sure if I like the surface or not, it's very different to say the least. My daughter Alissa posed for me for this one, I got the vision for it last winter when the amaryllises were in bloom...Enjoy!
