The latest piece of my Efflorescence series (abstract flowers) is titled “Cold Flowers.” I had a vision, it was created. Painting it required one gallon of paint, it is on a 36” x 48” canvas. It is my favorite painting of that technique to date. There are only nine colors and within a range of soft tones and metallics. The palate, to me, is reminiscent of late Fall, Winter, snow, cold, cloudy colors. I wanted a painting that was rich in texture. My vision was to create peaks of paint over an inch from the surface of the canvas.
Some of the following paintings will have even more texture and peaks that are closer together, hopefully, and possibly higher. I very much enjoy creating these works of art and mostly gazing at them once they are on display.
It will not be shown at Agrodolce Restaurant in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. The painting can be seen by appointment in my studio.
