I wanted to capture the essence of a hardy, beautiful flower, reminiscent of those found thriving even in the heat of Texas. The rich, deep tones of the petals, accented with a touch of gold, symbolize strength and resilience, while the textured background adds depth, like dappled sunlight or the rough bark of a tree. It's a tribute to enduring beauty and the quiet strength of nature, blooming vibrantly against all odds."
Materials:
Acrylic paint on textured canvas, with an underlying gesso texture for depth.
