I'm "branching out" now into florals (pun intended!). Bear with me while I get a feel for these multifaceted props. I've toyed with flowers in the past but this time I'm approaching them from a different perspective, so to speak; or better said, a different concept. The painting above is clearly a light and shadow or chiaroscuro painting. My idea was to have the light drift up from the table, travel up the planter and splash the geraniums on the left with the right side almost fully engulfed in shadow. Lost edges with only a very few crisp and light edges against darks for contrast. It's a quiet dance. May I go so far as to say "sexy"?
