Flowers, 2020, acrylic on canvas, 16″ x 20″
“In this life-observation painting, I chose an orchid and a jar of flowers as my subjects. While painting them, the flowers in the jar gradually withered but the orchid continued to bloom. I used yellow around the orchid to show its vitality and to help highlight it against the bright background.”
