2013 Esther Hansen Red Daliah, Danish Painting

A close-up picture of the red daliah. It is one of four paintings of vividly colored and almost stylistic flowers. About the artist: Esther Hansen grew up in the countryside and now lives on a farm. She started her painting career by decorating and painting China. She went on painting flowers on wood panel with oil and now she is mostly painting oil on canvas and her inspiration comes from the world that surrounds her - the landscapes, the flowers in the garden, the fields, the cattle (often the cows from the farm, where she lives), the human beings.
