FLEETING COLOR 2013,14,15,16,17, & 23
When asked about summer vacation.
What now?
“I’m going to make paintings of flowers.”
When flowers were a taboo subject.
In the same category with bunny rabbits and frogs.
A week later, glancing at a top shelf in Ikea’s home decorations.
The leftovers from a weekend sell:
ransacked,
artificial,
potted flowers.
In disarray.
The flowers with their beautiful, sweet faces, were awkwardly facing the wall.
THE BEGINNING:
I made my first flower painting.
TITLE: The Ikea flower adventure.
THEIR PLASTIC BEAUTY CAPTURED MY ATTENTION.
I Made 19 flower paintings during a ten-year period. Each with their own story.
