I think this is such a striking painting! I love the abstractness of the background, yet the flower petals look like you can reach out and touch them. Ahhh, those bits of orange – made my heart sing! That’s right! I was immediately drawn to this painting. Love it!

Duane has some amazing work that you really need to check out!  The ever popular ‘A Painting A Day’ blog is also his, and definitely worth spending time on… full of great paintings!

Read a blip about Duane from his website:

Duane Keiser studied painting under Raymond Berry at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia and Lennart Anderson at Brooklyn College in NYC. His “A Painting a Day” blog has been written about in numerous publications, including USA Today, The New York Times and, most recently, The Huffington Post. Using a makeshift easel made from a cigar box, he made a postcard-sized painting each day and posted them to his blog where collectors could bid on them via eBay (the project is ongoing and can be seen here.) He has exhibited at Fischbach Gallery, Allan Stone Gallery and, most recently, the New York Academy of Art. His work resides in several corporate collections and hundreds of private collections worldwide, including the Gregory Peterson Collection.
