Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

The Dauntless and The Demure © 2015 Amy Hillenbrand 30 x 24 oil on canvas $1400.00 What do you see when you look at this painting? I see two actors on a stage (they just happen to be flowers) who just finished their performance. The spotlight is on them and it is time to take their bows. The taller actor is very dauntless, bold and confident. He has no problem taking in all the adoration and applause. Now the smaller actress is somewhat shy and demure. She has a hard time taking in all the attention. See her head bowed; allowing her eyes to divert your glance. Notice her bent arms. Can’t you just read her body language? It’s as if she saying “oh stop, stop, this is way too much attention” To purchase this painting or see more colorful flower paintings please go visit my website.

"The Frolicking Lily Ballet’" © 2014 Amy Hillenbrand 24 x 30 oil on canvas $1400.00 When it was time to name my piece,  I saw playful Ballerinas; all very much alive and bouncy, which in turn made me think of the word Frolicking.   As I look at this happy flower painting I see dancers. Note the dancer laying across the others diagonally (like they do in the old 30's and 40's Holly wood musicals.) Anyway a little wacky, but that is what I see in my strange yet colorful imagination.  Let the Ballet begin! To see more colorful flower paintings please go check out my website.

"Group Hug" 18 x 36  oil on canvas $900.00 I just love this gaggle of yellow Day Lilies. I can't help but see the personalities of this tight knit bunch. They are all in a 'group hug' cheering each other on. The open yellow Lilies are encouraging the bright green young buds. As if saying to them, "it is okay to open your wings and feel the warm light of the sun on your faces". I think they all have a cheerful and joyful attitude sensing that it is great to be alive. It was a pleasure to paint this painting. I wanted to share with you the video below so you might also enjoy the process of creating an oil painting. Click here and see this painting come alive.
