THE STORY BEHIND THE PAINTING:
“The Rose” is the painting that began The Colors of Summer collection.
It was the summer I planted my studio garden. I was running down the stone path, when, just in front of the gate, I saw a glowing flash of color. I stopped and bent down, and there, in the dense green foliage, was a tiny, flaming rose. The first rose of the summer. I picked it impulsively and brought it inside the studio. Once in the studio, I noticed how the light shone through its delicate petals and manipulated its color. I could see every color of the rainbow.
I was inspired and ready for a challenge, so I got my palette ready. I used a palette of primary colors for the rose, along with white for blending. I spent the weekend obsessively painting, and by Monday morning, I was finished. I had managed to get all the colors of the rainbow across the rose’s delicate petals.
THE STORY BEHIND THE COLLECTION:
Colors of Summer is inspired by summertime colors. Each floral painting has all the colors of the rainbow. If you look closely, each new insect included in a painting is featured in the following one as well, creating a visual timeline for when the paintings were completed. This collection completely changed how I viewed color, and I thoroughly enjoyed the process. I hope you love it as much as I do.
HOW IT ARRIVES:
This 11×14 painting was painted with acrylic paint on a stretched canvas. The canvas is signed on the front and the back. Your painting will arrive ready to hang in a walnut wood frame, along with a certificate of authenticity and a letter from the artist.
