A Family

This is the first time I've painted flowers since I was a kid.  I just don't have much to say about flowers that hasn't been said already, that isn't said by a million contemporary fine artists in very skillful ways.

So, that being said, I painted flowers today.  I decided to make a painting as a gift for a very good friend who is going through a hard time. My feelings of grief for her were not supportive, so I decided to channel my love and sorrow into a beautiful painting that she could take strength and peace from.

The composition and subject are simple.  The colors are mostly complements and the neutral colors between them. But hey, the easiest formulas for pleasing art tend to produce...pleasing art.  Hope you like it.
