Description: Flowers by Rosie Sanders is a large-format book that showcases over 80 of her finest flower paintings in exquisite detail. Often compared to the artist Georgia O' Keeffe, Rosie Sanders's botanical paintings lie at the extreme end of botanical art - they exude dynamism and sensuality in every brushstroke and their richness of colour sets her apart from her contemporaries. In this beautifully illustrated book, Rosie exhibits a selection of flowers, from tulips to orchids, roses to irises, anemones to amaryllis, and illuminates them with fascinating and skillful uses of perspective and light. This large-format book showcases her finest paintings in exquisite detail and they are accompanied by excellent and accessible scientific commentary. Also included is an introduction by renowned Swiss botanist Dr. Andreas Honegger. This book is perfect for artists want to get a closer look at a master's brushstrokes, textures and colour in paintings, or readers who are interested in contemporary botanical art. Chapters include:1. Diversity in the Garden 2. Dark Flowers: the Magic of Night 3. A Fascination of Orchids 4. Lilies in Spring 5. Varieties of Belladonna 6. In Search of the Black Iris.

Review: I can understand why the work of Rosie Sanders is compared to that of Georgia O’Keefe. However, despite the fact that I am not an art critic, I feel that her work is far superior to O’Keefe’s. For one thing, there is a great deal more of it judging by the book(s). For another, she paints in water colour - such a difficult medium and worked so beautifully. Almost every fabulously printed page had me gasping in awe. I have to admit that I would love to be able to paint like this and would give my eye teeth to watch this lady painting for a couple of days. Never mind. I have this fantastic book to copy and learn from. By far the best book I have on flower painting. Well worth the price.
