This was part of the daily painting, Plant Portrait Series of February 2025.
Day 19, 2/9/25
Back story:
Like Jade in February, this piece has a minimal feel in contrast to some of the other Plant Portraits in this series, which are bold and “heavy” with color. This minimal quality is part of what I most like about these pieces that are stylistically significantly different. They could be seen as under finished, but I see it is light of touch and I like it. Heavy in layers and product and color sometimes achieves and means, less…
Does it feel like it’s floating and needs a background or some shadowing, or do you feel it too? I’ll start trying to stop imagining a college professor from my undergrad telling me it’s unfinished and giving me a C+ for it.
This piece also has a pop art, ‘put this in a graphic collage somewhere’ feel to me! Maybe I’ll do that with it too!
Check out Plant Portrait Series of February 2025 if you want more story on this piece. If there is more, it will be in that Write.
Important note:
THIS PIECE DOES NOT COME FRAMED.
These pieces are SHOWN placed in a Basic Box Wood Frame which I love the aesthetic of for the simplicity and minimalist aesthetic. It COULD be a good choice for your frame and you will have the option to add it at checkout. But please note the piece DOES NOT COME FRAMED or in this frame. The picture is so you can see it in a setting but you will get to PYO frame for it! You can ADD THIS frame as an add on during check out.
