I was asked to paint a protea plant and here it is! I am absolutely in love with this oil painting I have created of a King Protea (Protea cynaroides)! This is my first realistic painting of this plant! It was so relaxing and I loved every moment as I saw it come alive on my canvas! Video to follow.
The King Proteas are known for their dramatic size and striking appearance. The large, spiky bracts with deep pink to crimson tips, surrounding a soft white, central dome of fine filaments, are signature features of this iconic South African flower.
The vibrant contrast of lush green leaves and radiant pinks against a serene pale warm grey background gives the composition a modern, uplifting energy. This piece evokes both strength and elegance, celebrating the intricate geometry and resilience of nature’s floral royalty.
