This little pink and orange gem is part of a small series of portraits of a bouquet of flowers my husband brought home. The blooms were all tightly closed when they arrived, I experienced so much joy watching them unfurl over a week, slowly opening to reveal their secrets and perfume our house with their soft, warm fragrance. The wallpaper background was inspired by Matisse cutouts and by his tiled mosaic which I fell in love with at LACMA. While the deep pink and orange of the tablecloth was inspired by the extraordinary pink of the lily petals. The blossoms opened unexpectedly huge, dwarfing the small glass vase I had initially homed them in, as you can see in this representation of them - their large fuschia heads loll humorously above the delicate glass cylinder. The brushstrokes on the table cloth are playful, textured and layered and soft blushes of pleasant coral pink show through the emerald green and white wallpaper behind the vase.
