Seamus Berkeley'Calla Lily Yellow', oil on canvas, 8" x 6", Seamus Berkeley<br>
<br>
Just as in the white Calla Lily piece, the challenges of painting flowers with a hard edged knife is how to create soft edges. It’s easy to create crisp, hard edges, like where the bright yellow petal is adjacent to the dark background; it’s a bit more difficult to merge the layers of paint into a soft edge, like those areas where the shadow areas of the petal turn into the lit areas.<br>
