Spring Garden

A one-of-one original, this piece was painted entirely without a brush. Instead, I used whole blooming carnations and roses, the delicate blooms of pom pom chrysanthemum, and fresh leaves as my tools—pressing, lifting, and layering each natural form onto the canvas. The result is a quiet garden of pink and magenta blossoms drifting across a spring-green ground, with the gentle impressions of foliage woven throughout. Every mark is unique to this single canvas; no two will ever be the same.
