"A thoughtful housekeeper cut and arranged these blooms and their sparkling color was irresistible to the artist's eye. Light glitters through the partially backlight bowl while the ginger jar sits in a reflected glow. Though painted years ago, it shows the same approach to composition I still use with the simple dark and light areas that divide the space." --- SFG
"Shirley's Bouquet" -- 24" x 24" -- Oil -- 1989
A dear friend, Shirley Grothkop, cut and arranged these blooms for me and their sparkling color was irresistible. Light glitters through the partially backlit bowl while the ginger jar sits in a reflected glow. Though painted years ago, it shows the same approach to composition I still use with the simple dark and light areas that divide the space.
