The colors are intriguing, warm oranges on cool blues, the top background the coolest, the bottom warmer with lavenders...the vibrant flowers glowing and growing toward the coolness of ???death???...coming from the warmth of he earth, their "roots", their beginnings. The symmetry is not absolute. And as you gaze deeper into the background, the central leaves are lighter than their counterparts, drawing one into the background, deeper into the future? the past? This is an apparently simple painting that moves the observer beyond simplicity.

An artist can use their chosen medium to try to make a statement or express something meaningful about life, and that's all good. But there's nothing wrong with "simply" translating nature. <br /><br />I also like pieces that draw me in based on the what I like in terms of the most basic elements like color, contrast, and composition. <br /><br />So, in the case of this piece, all I can say is I really do like it. I was immediately drawn to the symmetry, because I happen to like that, and also to the contrast in the colors. I like the fact that it is obviously Bird of Paradise flowers, but not a photo-realistic representation of them. I'm not even a huge fan of the actual flowers, but I'd want this picture around to look at regularly.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09086538845835740406noreply@blogger.com
