Coffee and Flowers in Winter
18"x24"
Acrylic, Oil, Charcoal and coffee grounds
In the dead of winter, looking at flowers deeply while transcribing their detail onto stretched paper, I painted this bunch of Carnations, Lilies, Hydrangeas and Chrysanthemums. Tucked beside their rich green companions, meditating on the life inside, was balm inside a long dark winter. The dark moody background reflects the weather outside, the flowers, creating a contrast of mood and experience. And then there's real coffee grounds texturing the vase. Coffee, flowers, winter *sigh.
