FLOWERS AND PLANTS
Flowers and plants have been the subjects of a number of paintings, I have painted them in gardens, arrangements, and in the wild. In addition to portraying them realistically, plant and flower shapes have inspired more abstract and expressive artwork. Two examples of this more imaginative and larger style of painting are shown at the bottom of this page.
