The beautiful geometric shapes extract a pureness of spirit in their uncomplicated portrayal and rich enveloping colors.

Wonderous cast shadows become part of this still life's artistry and contemporary interpretation. Like beautiful pieces of stained glass the hues of lavender, turquoise and green illuminate provide an engaging contrast to the rich and zesty lemon yellows.

The painting was inspired by my love for color and bringing to life a sense of simplicity in a still life painting. I created it on a gallery wrapped canvas that can be hung framed or unframed. less
