16" x 20" pastel by Niki Gulley • SOLD
I was commissioned to create this unusual floral painting for The Art of Virtue, a book that was just published on the writings of Benjamin Franklin by Charles T. Warren. The publisher wanted a painting that could be used in its entirety for the cover art and then also as eight individual paintings that could be broken up to be the artwork for each of its chapters. Also, with Franklin's interest in and influential development of horticulture in Philadelphia, florals seemed like a perfect fit.
At top is the original painting, along with the cover of the book and some interior pages above and below. For more information on commissions, e-mail me at Niki@NikiGulley.com.
