2016
Here again, I'm looking to unify the painting with white peonies from my garden, a white teapot and the white wall of my studio. The red roses and the pruning shears add a pop of color and an architectural element to the composition. I carefully compose my paintings, looking for patterns of darks and light to organize the piece.
