Title
Tie-dye Dahlia
Artist
Ken Powers
Medium
Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
I had a concept that I wanted to try for this piece that I thought might be interesting and that was to model a dahlia after a tie-dyed shirt. I painted it very loose with what I always remember as being some of the prominent colors used for shirt dying in the past. I decided to paint this piece very loosely and with damp paper in order to accomplish that tie-dyed shirt look. I had fun trying to mimic that appearance while still allowing petal definition. The original is 16"x12" in size and is painted entirely with Sennelier paints, papers, and brushes.

I have always enjoyed your gallery, but just ran across this piece and really love it. Beautiful!
Ken Powers replied:
Thank you Diane! That is very nice of you to say. This one is another experiment as I am attempting to make every piece in this floral series maintain it's own individual characteristics. The one I am currently working on is a drastic departure. I can't wait until it is done!

You don't seem phased by them but I just couldn't seem to break them down and make sense out of them. Yet. This one is just exceptional and I love the way you let the red run into the yellow. ROCK on friend.

Ken, I need to send you some photos of the Dahlia fields in our area. They will inspire you even further. Lovely.

Beautiful piece, Ken. Excellently composed, excellent balance. Seems to work in every way, as far as I can tell.

Beautifiul work, Ken! This dahlia really pops right out of the painting. Great work!

very beautiful and crisp
Ken Powers replied:
Thank you Julie! This was a fun one! I tried not to overdo the shadow areas to keep it a bit more 2 dimensional and to allow the background to still exist!

so very pretty and still bold
Ken Powers replied:
Thank you Cristopher! I wasn't sure if my tie-dye theme was going to work or not. The scan doesn't really do the background justice.
