Red Amaryllis, 1937 Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986)

We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.

We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.

High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Georgia O'Keeffe also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.

In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.

TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.

We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.

Once the painting Red Amaryllis is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.

We offer free shipping as well as paid express transportation services.

After adding your artwork to the shopping cart, you will be able to check the delivery price using the Estimate Shipping and Tax tool.

The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.

Georgia O'Keeffe's "Red Amaryllis" (1937) invites the viewer into an almost intimate space, where a single flower, bold and bursting with life, occupies the entire canvas. The flower - an amaryllis - is painted in a vibrant, rich red, each petal a sculptural form, curling and unfolding as though it holds secrets within its lush, velvety folds. O’Keeffe, ever a master of focus, captures this blossom not as a fragile decorative element but as a force, something visceral and powerful, alive with color and energy. Here, the petals are monumental, each edge sharp yet softened, the delicate veins within conveying an almost tactile sensation.

The background, a hazy blend of yellow and white, plays against the red, suggesting sunlight, warmth - perhaps even a summer's heat. Yet the setting remains abstract, undefined, as if the flower itself has been plucked from reality and suspended in an otherworldly glow. This light, soft but present, enhances the amaryllis, making the red tones appear even more intense and saturated. The flower seems to pulse with life, demanding attention, holding the viewer in a quiet, compelling gaze.

At the heart of the painting, O’Keeffe draws the viewer into the flower's center. Tiny yellow stamens protrude delicately, echoing the golden hues of the background, a subtle reminder of nature's cycle of life and reproduction. The composition pulls you in, almost uncomfortably close, as if urging you to look deeper. O’Keeffe's amaryllis is no shrinking violet; it's unapologetically bold, sensual, and confrontational in its simplicity. The curves, the folds - all are exquisitely rendered, yet they border on abstraction, hinting at a deeper, more primal energy.

In "Red Amaryllis," O’Keeffe does not just paint a flower; she magnifies it, amplifies it, transforming the commonplace into something monumental. This is an artist who sees more than what is visible, who pulls out the hidden resonance in nature. The flower becomes an object of reverence, of beauty, yet holds a subtle challenge - to see beyond the petals, to feel the vibrancy and complexity of life in its simplest forms. With just a few carefully placed colors and masterful strokes, O’Keeffe creates a world within a single blossom, a view that is both scientific in its detail and poetic in its expression.
