Yellow Flower abstract painting

This painting achieves an expressive interplay between abstraction and realism through the use of a tactile quality, delicate lines, subtle variations of hue, and a minimalistic background all combined in a way to encourage prolonged observation. Layers upon layers of translucent paint coupled with fine line work enhance the naturalistic feel of this piece creating an organic complexity to the subject. This balance of fine textural elements and bold use of color generate an inviting and contemplative mood offering viewers a fresh appreciation of an otherwise familiar subject. 28" x 32" acrylic paint and ink sealed on a wooden panel.
