Red Magnolia (2023) Original Oil Painting by Dom Holmes

Inspired by a magnolia tree on a local street which always signifies the start of Spring, Red Magnolia depicts two flowers emerging from a deep background, suggesting the way in which we overlook so many beautiful plants and flowers in our local environments, in particular in city settings.

My pieces are built up with multiple layers of oil glazes using minimal pigments and tones, culminating in a velvety surface interrupted with purposeful, smooth brush strokes. The boldness in this piece is made up from just five pigments, carefully blended and layered to create the richness and smoothness of the plant.
