"BIG RED"

This painting is one of the best of my floral series of works that I have done over the years. I wanted to paint on a large scale and I waited until all of the conditions in my life were right to do so. I allowed my mind to develop the concept while working out the colors, composition and placement, of all of the components that I thought would make this a great painting. I spared no expense or time to create this piece. At the time my life was so full of different new people, places, and things. I was in the middle of putting together a retrospective for a museum show I was scheduled to do. I was also working on new paintings and juggling with the Idea that I might just find something else to do with my life. After going through what it took to complete this painting I found myself falling in love with art and the creative process all over again.
70" x 65" x 1.5" Oil on hand stretched canvas. (SOLD)
