Flowers.....While I am struck by the delicate beauty of these fragile creations of nature, there is more here than a pretty picture. The same as a portrait painting is more than an image of someone who lived at one time. A painting of a flower is a story of a creature that lived for a short time and died for love. It's withering petals will caress the pollenated infant inside so it too might one day grow to praise the sun and invite bees to share it's unique nature with others of it's kind.
Each bloom is an orgasmic expression of a flowering plant's life. A painting is more than a snapshot of a point in time. It is an expression of it's brief life. While the flowers I have painted have come and gone, their essence has been captured and their temporary beauty and personality preserved for as long as the medium will last.
If you don't have time to stop and smell the flowers along the way, then buy a painting to remind you there is beauty in the world. At night when there is no longer any sun or phones to answer, when the room is quiet and you finally have time to admire your painting's beauty long after the original bloom has passed. Remembering the smell of flowers along your way.
This is the artist's gift to you.
Buy art, celebrate your spirit, your love, your life.
