The allure of design and color can be felt in this engaging still life where a tapestry unfolds among the imaginative geometric and floral shapes. The vibrant visual story centers around the arrangements palette of earthy organic hues. Warm sun baked feel of a terracotta vase engages with a cloth covered table in a bold floral motif. Pool-like passes of deep blue provide a dramatic cooling contrast in the cast shadows. Like a stained glass window there is much to gaze at, in wonder, amidst this mosaic of simple beautiful shapes.

Inspiration for this painting centered around the idea of patterns and connection. In putting things together I continue to uncover interesting deeper arrangements that can become part of a whole composition.

This small painting was created on a gallery wrapped canvas in oils. It has lots of visible brushwork and is signed. The painting can be hung framed or unframed. See less
