Priestess Painting

Initially, I was inspired to paint Priestess from a photo of a flower dramatically lit. However, as is often the case what I set out to paint shifts over time. I didn't realize until I neared completion that Priestess was the third in a series of red flowers I've painted. The first in 2009, the first painting I did after nearly giving up painting. It was painted with leftover palette from my paint very quickly. The second, which is called Red Flower, I painted in 2016 when I returned to painting with the intention of becoming a professional artist. When I painted Red Flower, I didn't know what I was painting. It had many phases, at one point it resembled a fist or an anatomical heart more than a flower. Lastly, I painted Priestess in 2021, it felt like rebirth and finally the flower was ready to bloom. I hope viewers will be immersed by it, the center of the flower is gold and feels a bit like an oracle.
