Flowers that Live Forever
Florals are one of my favorite subjects to paint. I love flowers in general, but being so delicate, most have an ephemeral, or short lived life.
It saddens me to see a bunch of fresh-cut flowers, so beautifully arranged, as their petals gradually fade and decay. I usually try to hold on to them for as long as I can, removing the dying flowers one by one until none are left.
Painting them is my way of immortalizing them so you and I can continue enjoying their beauty long after they are gone.
