A Mardi Gras of Blooms

I’d like to close out the year with a parade of flowers I’ve painted over the years.

There is beauty in their complexity—a cascade of color, patterns and textures forever reaching for the sky. The delicate unfolding of these primal forms nurtures my soul.

I feel my way into every line, shape, shadow, and texture, seeking points of departure. Fluid, gestural marks and brushstrokes interpret the lyricism of the organic shapes. Each flower portrait blooms on their own into a condensed poem.

My most important tool when creating art is my attention. Gently observing my subject sparks my imagination and grounds me in the moment.

Where can you use mindfulness to explore inspiration in the varied dimensions of nature?
