I guess when it comes t flowers I take after my grandfather's pallets when it comes to color. Interesting, nevertheless when I paint, it is as if I am guided by spirits. I don't always know what the final painting will look like because I immerse myself in expressing what is trying to come through me. I consider myself just a channel used by outside forces that need to offer something to people who need it in order for them to feel good. I remember when a lady came into the gallery I once owned and said that her guru told her to have these particular colors and shapes. This comment was about a similar painting. The lady came in every week to give me $100 towards the price of the painting. In the end, when she paid in full after a couple of months, she came and took the painting and I never saw her again. This painting has been exhibited, moved a few times to various locations, and it is in excellent condition. I stretched my own linen or canvas on the stretcher bars and built the base. The painting is done in oils and it is on Canvas
Although I have taken photographs during the day, it is impossible to have the colors come true as they are. In reality, they are much more vibrant. It is as if they have their own life since the shapes and color combination create so much movement. The color combination is very peaceful and serene and has a calm yet energetic effect on the viewer.
All my paintings change very much by the surrounding light and objects. It would look great with an accent light above or below the painting. An appropriate frame would be nice too although my paintings are "strong" enough to hold their own without framing.

Wonderful for any residential and commercial environment. less
