Somewhere during the past couple of months, I decided to revisit painting abstracted flowers. I was prompted to do this series when I was looking at paintings that weren’t working for me. That isn’t unusual, I often cover over paintings and create new compositions. But the idea of painting flowers sprang up when I decided to cover the old paintings primarily with black paint, leaving a hint of the underpainting, and creating a wonky vase of long-stemmed flowers.<\/p>\n

I have painted flowers in a variety of iterations, and I always enjoyed what I created. These are some of the older paintings that have long since sold.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to my current series. Many of these new paintings are 6×6 inches and were created for the Small Works<\/em> show at Salem on the Edge<\/span><\/a>. They proved to be popular, and most<\/em> of the flower pieces sold within the first few days of the show. It was such a heartwarming affirmation of doing this new body of work. Here is a peek behind the scenes of my process:<\/p>\n

Because I loved these flowers so much, I had notecards printed so I can write thank you notes to those who purchase my paintings.<\/p>\n
