Bromeliad Vriesea

Copyright 2010 Maria Soto Robbins

This bromeliad caught my eye because it was so unusual! It looks like the stems of the flowers were purposefully bent down. It was the only one like it and the tag only said that it was a bromeliad, not what TYPE of bromeliad. So, I went to forum.bsi.org -The place to discuss bromeliads- and found that it’s a Vriesea Bromeliad and not quiet as common as the others. It’s pretty, don’t you think?

Dimension: 11x14

Media: Oils on canvas panel and gently textured impasto

Bold Bromeliad

This impressionistic painting was done in oils with palette knife and brushes and it shows the leaves of one of my bromeliad plants from above. Even when they're not in bloom, the leaves have such interesting, and colorful shapes. I love bromeliads!

ACEO stands for Art Card Edition Original, miniature original paintings or prints, a mere 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches in size. They are affordable works of art that can be framed, kept in albums, in your wallet, used as a bookmark, or anywhere you like! ACEO's are a wonderful way to build a collection of art miniatures from a wide range of artists at a fraction of the price of a large-scale original.

Pineapple Impasto Oil

Copyright 2009 Maria Soto Robbins

This impressionistic painting was done in thick, rich oil impasto with palette knives and brushes and it shows a pineapple sitting on a tabletop. I love the fruit of the "bromeliad pineapple" plant and it is also a wonderful symbol of hospitality.

Bromeliad Duo

Bromeliad Duo

I just recently completed these two oil paintings that are the same style and size (11x14). I hope they're adopted together into the same home or office. They’re a standard size that will fit a pre-made, off the shelf, type frame.

Even though the original models that I used to paint these are now kind of sad and discolored looking, they’re both still holding on to their once gorgeous flower. They are so forgiving of my neglect. The blossoms will last for a couple of months and all they require is a shady spot and an occasional drink of water. I love bromeliads! What more could you ask for in a plant?

Bromeliad Vriesea

I found this bromeliad at the Home Depot near my house. It was so unusual! It caught my eye because it looks like the stems of the flowers were purposefully bent down! It was the only one like it and the tag only said that it was a bromeliad, not what TYPE of bromeliad. So, I went to one of the great forums online, forum.bsi.org -The place to discuss bromeliads- and one of the forum members posted that it’s a Vriesea Bromeliad and not quiet as common as the others. It’s pretty, don’t you think?
