On the farm, the deer come and go as they please walking on a soft bed of leaves. In the spring, this deep green carpet bursts into bloom in a vibrant periwinkle color. The first year I lived there, I had no idea it was going to happen. One morning I woke up to a sea of flowers all along the edge of the woods. This painting is one of those beautiful spring surprises.
Deliberate brushwork makes each petal feel both translucent and textured. The flower rests on a gunmetal gray background that grounds the image and sharpens the color contrast, letting highlights stand out against deep shadow. Varied strokes—from soft washes for velvety edges to firmer marks—create a tactile, intimate feel as the flower seems to lift right off the canvas. The dark background gives a modern, almost architectural calm. Up close it invites quiet study of form and color; from afar its simple silhouette and limited palette read as a refined, contemporary study.
This posting is for unframed prints only. Prints have a 1 inch bleed to ensure none of the image is covered by frame if not using matting. If you prefer no white edge (image to the edge of the paper), please specify that request.
