Thanks to Studio 84, based in Phoenix, some of my floral paintings are headed to a client in Houston next week. I am not too sure of the details yet, but, the opportunity to create lots of floral still life pieces inspired me to resurrect my series of “The Girls.” Each painting is 18″ x 18″ and will work well in a group or stand alone. The flowers are tributes to the women who have come into my life. Here is my description of these works:
The floral paintings I create remind me of women I have known. Some are weathered perennials who appear in my life year after year. Some are flashy annuals who visit to add color and a little spice. The paintings are made of many layers, like these women. Some are bold and some, more subtle; you don’t see their beauty until you get to know them. Matisse said, “There are always flowers for those who choose to see them.” That inspires me, as do the women who cross my path.
Each is named for someone special and there are many more to come in the future. I hope you like them. I will also have some on display at the newly revived Cincinnati Flower Show. Details about that will be released soon! Enjoy!
