THE GARDEN SERIES

I began painting flowers when
I planted a cutting garden.

It was weeding that was my inspiration to paint large, bold, often single blossoms. While on my knees, determined to get the better of a dandelion, I came eye to eye with flowers. I saw shapes I had previously not fully appreciated. These petal shapes are now the foundation of my flower compositions. It is a subject with endless possibilities. I now can’t see the garden for the blooms.
