Dec 18 - Radiant Field
Oil on wood panel, 8”x8”x1.5”
I was drawn to the warmth, transparency, and luminosity of these full, round tulips so I painted it with long, juicy brushstrokes. Painting this work with my face close to the panel’s surface felt like being saturated in and showered in the color red. A single red tulip rises in the foreground, surrounded by smaller yellow blooms that melt together as a mass in the distance. The flowers lined up linearly like sheet music with each flower contributing its own note to the larger field.
I am interested in depicting flowers and pollinators because they indicate the health of the local ecosystem and evidence how everything in life is interconnected. I believe that our approach to economics should be more like gardening: attentive, cyclical, and collaborative with nature’s rhythms. Perhaps by surrounding ourselves with images of nature, we can help reshape our value systems for a more sustainable future.
