I was inspired by writer Sunbrown by her photo of herself in a turtleneck sweater in front of a floral wallpaper. It made me think of a painting with a figure in a chunky cream colored sweater holding flowers. As I sketched this painting out and began the first layer, I was thinking about how we wear chunky sweaters in the winter and how there aren’t many flowers blooming in the winter season. But winter can still be a season where we gather some blossoms, figuratively and literally.
