About this painting:
This painting was done in studio from a wilting bouquet of multi-colored roses, and some aging bananas. I am enchanted by the array of colors and sensory pleasure that flowers give... I arranged this mature blooms in a bright red vase, since the contrast of this lent to the garish... sort of like aging beauty queens. I utilized a limited palette of only burnt sienna, french ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, alizarin crimson and white, thinned by a mixture of 1/2 and 1/2 linseed and turpentine to create this painting.
