A beautiful, unique, creative expression bursting with color and energy. It is one of 12 paintings in my "de fleurs a un petit je-ne-sais-quoi de fascinat series."
Inspiration
The innovative work of Helen Frankenthaler who developed the soak-stain technique of painting inspired these paintings. After practicing this technique for six months, I embarked upon a painting series loosely based on flowers.
Pink Flower is the first of 12 paintings in the "de fleurs a un petit je-ne-sais-quoi de fascinat" series. I "saw" a flower on the canvas before me on the floor. I painted to its image. A few happy accidents happened in the studio. Something fascinating emerged from the original flower image I imagined on the canvas. That's where the title and subject of this series came from.
Painting Process
Each painting in the series is vertical, painted on the floor on flat canvas, and the same size for a cohesive look. I began each one by considering a color and the idea of a flower.

They come to you unstretched, unframed. Hang it from hooks or get it stretched. Frame it or not.
