Petal in Cool Colors

I was drawn to the beautiful shapes and overlapping forms of the petals, but as always, it was the colors that kept me interested. I wanted to explore the relationship between dusty rose, lavender, soft blue and warm ivory, and how these colors shift and change when placed next to one another.

I love the way the petals radiate from the center, creating an almost architectural arrangement. I played with the direction of the brushstrokes and the subtle changes in color, allowing the flower to become something between a recognizable form and an abstract composition.

For me, painting is always an exploration of color and the harmony that happens when everything finds its place.
