Harvest Floral: “Whose seed is in itself” oil, 20x20in, $850, Sold
Gratitude from the Artist
Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Here’s a bouquet of flowers reminding us of the beauty and fullness of gratitude.
The painting started with an under-painting of reds, then I blocked in the flowers with a paintbrush. Next I piled on petals and stems with a palette knife, creating texture and playful movement between the blossoms and the warm background — now repainted in yellow. One of my favorite parts of this painting is the sunflower getting lost in the background and then finding its way back in the bouquet.
Genesis 1:11
”And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.”
I love this idea of God’s creation being complete with all it needs.
I hope this bouquet of flowers serves as a reminder for all the good and blessings in our lives!
