Description

Forget Me Not
This painting began in early January of 2020. It started out with translucent layers of gold on the base. During the months of the lock-down, I used my time to build layers of color in the background. Over this period I was determined to not let all of the negative events affect the mood of my painting. I believe there is more than enough ugliness in the world and I refuse to contribute to it with negative artworks. So, even though feminine beauty may not be so much in vogue, I stubbornly stuck with my theme and I now present my newest original oil on canvas simply entitled “Forget Me Not’. Size 40 x 30 inches. The abstract butterflies were created very simply with gold leaf. I didn’t want them to be realistic or to be defined but rather ‘suggest’ in a reflective way. They are similar in tonal value with the background and so they tend to appear and disappear depending on the viewing angle and the reflective light source. The background features an abstract use of brush work. I wanted a vibrant, energetic feeling. I see these brush strokes representing emotions, spirit and the scent of spring/summer gardens. My ambition was to create a visually stimulating artwork with a feeling of sensuality and an air of mystique within an untold story.
