abstract florals: study of blue tulips

by | Jun 10, 2012 | aoj blog

one of my favorite flowers has always been the tulip…. simplicity, yet sophistication…. I think it really speaks to the duality of how something so small can be so powerful, but then flowers have always been  like this…. I always try each year to add a floral to my portfolio… as an abstract artist I think they make excellent studies due to their ability to be portrayed as abstractions, yet connect us to reality …. here is a recent study in abstraction… this is mixed media…. wood panel, oil, acrylic, aluminum panel…. this just came off the studio wall last week and is drying…soon as they dry i’ll be adding a polymer resin top coat, which should really set this off nicely… hope you all enjoy… i’ll have another one out shortly….

 

…….peace
