2022-23. Oil on canvas. 24"x24".
 
This was one of my earliest times of painting flower from life.
 
On this piece however, I wanted to do something different. I tried to flatten and stylize the flowers and not paint them as I saw them. That's why there used to be a background made up of lines that I then painted over with a flat yellow. The original background can still be seen in the vase section. 
 
I was in love with the range of colors in the orange roses and how they were complimented by the decorative kale.
