Magnolia trio

22 x 26 inches, acrylic on wood 3D

This captures the quiet elegance of the Southern magnolia and transforms it into a striking dimensional statement piece.

Three magnolia blossoms drift across the composition like bright stars in a midnight garden. Their petals are painted in luminous layers of white and soft sky blue, creating a sense of cool light that contrasts beautifully against the deep, shadowy greens and blues of the background foliage. At the heart of each bloom, warm golden centers glow with touches of yellow and orange, adding a vibrant spark that draws the viewer inward.

What makes this piece especially compelling for collectors is its sculptural quality. Several of the magnolia blossoms and leaves are crafted as hand-cut wooden elements that extend beyond the flat painting surface, giving the work a bold three-dimensional presence. One blossom even breaks past the frame, creating the illusion that the magnolia branch is naturally growing out of the artwork and into the room.

The layered leaves, painted in rich tones of emerald, olive, and jade, weave through warm brown branches that guide the viewer’s eye throughout the composition. The textured brushwork and dimensional cutouts create depth and movement, making the piece feel alive from every angle.

Encased in a soft gray wood frame, the work balances classic Southern subject matter with a modern sculptural approach. It is both a painting and an object, designed to stand out as a focal point in any collection or interior space.

For collectors, this piece represents more than a floral painting. It is a celebration of Southern heritage and craftsmanship, blending fine art painting with carved wooden relief to create a one-of-a-kind work that cannot be replicated.

A bold, elegant magnolia that quite literally steps beyond the frame, this piece is designed to command attention while honoring the timeless beauty of the South.
