Description
This is a digital painting made from a photograph of these lovely Oriental Lilies. It is printed with a canvas texture. It would be a great photograph to be printed on canvas. I bought one for myself to hang in my living room. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PRINT ON CANVAS, PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY.
A bit of history for lovers of these beautiful flowersThere are between 80 to 100 species of lilies (Liliaceae), and most are native to the Northern Hemisphere in Asia, Europe and North America. The bulbs produce leafy stems and large flowers, some of which are strongly scented. Lilies have been treasured throughout history for their beauty and perfume, and they serve as an important cultural symbol.
In Greek mythology, the lily was the flower of Hera, wife of Zeus, and was supposed to have formed from the milk of her breast. In Roman mythology, Venus, goddess of beauty, was supposedly so jealous of the flower's white loveliness that she caused a huge pistil to grow from its center. The lily flower was considered sacred in the Minoan civilization, and a painted image of one dating to about 1580 B.C. was found in Crete.
