Description
In contrast to other floral watercolors, I painted these daisies in my studio from flowers I purchased from a local florist. The vase I borrowed from my wife. The original painting, on 100% rag paper, measures 11 x 14½ inches and will be shipped rolled securely in a shipping tube.
By request, it can be fitted with an off-white 100% archival rag mat (overall size 16 ½ x 20 ½ ) in a protective cardboard case. Please contact me for any such customizations or special requests.
For me and for many other citizens of this earth, flowers offer a glimpse of grace, simplicity and peace in a world that wobbles out of balance. Every Spring, irises, daffodils and tulips push up out of the dirt and remind us of mortality, theirs and ours. Except for days of snow and cold, I like to sit in the dirt near them and draw as accurately as I’m able. The chop is a seal traditionally used in China and Japan as a signature. It is carved from stone; the red color comes from cinnabar paste. This one states my name in Mandarin. I sign my watercolors of flowers with it in homage to Hokusai, Hiroshige and other masters of floral painting.
