Original gouache painting on archival watercolor paper.
6 x 6 inches with small white border.
This was part of the daily painting,Plant Portrait Series of February 2025.
Day 13, painted 2/13/25-2/24/25, over Valentine’s Day.
Back story:
How does a portrait of a person make its way into a plant portrait series?, you ask.
I’m not entirely sure. This one is a combo of (plant) wallpaper, flowers meant to be Edelweiss, which I understand to be German for mountain flower. This someone has said of me and thus, part “self portrait". Someone I know, word “plays” / multiple entendre, things I love: multiple meanings and interpretations. (Only when it’s nice and lovely though. Multiple interpretations can suck too!)
When the portrait doesn't come out looking like you, you just make a loose reference to it not being a self portrait. More bio than autio bio, perhaps!
Check out Plant Portrait Series of February 2025if you want more story on this piece. If there is more, it will be in that Write.
Notes:
This piece DOES come framed. It is meant to be a temporary frame. There is no glass and the art is not protected long term.
