Spiral Floral #4 Print

This piece is from a series of studies where I was experimenting with color and composition. Each floral piece has a textured surface with line work added at the end to spice it up. These intentionally quirky shapes are meant to elicit a smile and sense of delight. I’m inspired by the texture and movement in Vincent vanGogh’s work. Both add a sense of wonder to the painting. I only use artist grade acrylic paint on archival watercolor paper or canvas. (These studies are all on watercolor paper.) I love using acrylic paints – I can use them thick like oils or thin like watercolors. You will often find collage elements in my work buried beneath the paint.
