| Bouquet Without Stems oil/canvas 12 x 12 x 1.5 |
was not a planned project. Sometime in March, I started seeing lots of primrose plants in the stores. Primroses are on my list of "poorly painted subjects from the past" that, eventually, I have plans to attempt again....along with swans and pumpkins. And so, I laid a plan. On the way to class, I stopped to pick up a primrose plant...three stores later, I was still being told that they had all died. And so I ended up with one of those fairly nondescript bouquets that is a mix of lovely separates with no particular theme. Attempts to put this bunch in any vase at the art center created a leaning, skinny bouquet with no rhythm. Considering all of my options, I chose to paint each of the kinds separately on a flat two-dimensional, tile-like plane.
No stems.
