I favour minimalism. Stripped of all extraneous details there is only form, texture and hue, each of which must be meticulously executed because there is nowhere for flaws and imperfection to hide. The finished results look deceptively simple. The calla lily is the perfect flower to use when I want to create a design that is minimal and elegant.

As a flower, the calla lily is the very essence of femininity and sensuality. Resembling the form of a woman, this flower was a popular subject in American art in the latter half of the 19th century, especially after Freud provided a sexual interpretation of its form. Georgia O’Keefe used the calla lily as a recurring provocative theme in many of her paintings and became known as “the lady of the lilies”. Nineteenth century art photographers also used the calla lily as an erotic motif. Diego Rivera, a famous early 20th century artist, also depicted the calla lily in a number of his works.

As one of the best places to get calla lily online, www.wholeblossoms.com/ has managed to carve a niche of its own in the market.
