My Bouquet paintings are an exciting interpretation of this classic subject.
With my simplistic composition, I look to capture the rawness, and explicitly, the freshness of the bouquet. To conjure the feel of the florist’s shop, the inelegance of the bouquet before it finds a home.
I lay down a moody pallet of abstract colour on a natural wooden panel; this forms the foundation, at which point I build an impressionistic representation of the classic bouquet. These opposing concepts unite to form an unrefined interplay between randomness and intention; the two worlds collide in a splash of pigment.
The flowers are always live and fresh to capture their essence and thereby their immortality...before they end up in the compost heap.
