SciFi and Fantasy Art Fireflies – Light holders by Anne Wipf

Tag As FavoriteComment

On a hot sommer night, in the South of France, perhaps would you see strange little creatures... Inspired from the view I have from my windows every night.

 

 All the flowers are painted and not stuck : it took me about 40 hours to finish this painting. Acrylics on canvas, but the fireflies were added in Photoshop.

I thought this was water color? But I don’t know how you made this look so wonderful with acrylics! I don’t know but you are a wonderful artist and your art is nothing like anything I have seen before!

Wow, this is really unique and colourful, Anne. The flowers are painted beautifully. They look very realistic which contrasts with the more simplistic castle and figures in a really interesting way.

:-) Anne Wipf replies: "Thank you, Donna. This style of painting is quite old, done when I was inemployed: I don’t have time enough now to do such paintings. 8"

The fireflies have little noses! 11
The whole picture is bright, but the buildings in the middle look like they’re glowing a little bit, I like the effect.

:-) Anne Wipf replies: "I was inspired by a photo, at night with floodlight lighting the building, which really gave this effect 12 Thank you, John. 1"

What I love most about your floral paintings is that it instantly brings me back to my childhood, like I am looking out of the window at night at the magic of fireflys, as I did when I was a wee one. I used to think that they were fairies and I sometimes still do. 1

:-) Anne Wipf replies: "Thank you so much, Barbara. All your words are candies for me 1"
