Christina Rossetti (azaleas)

This series incorporates my love of linework mixed with abstract washes, plus relevant nature factoids and/or quotes from famous poets.

Flowers are fragile and short-lived, but also infallibly cyclical, which was and continues to be a comfort during these tumultuous times, filled with worry over climate change. Seasonal flowers remind us to celebrate life’s beauty and transience while we can.

The name of this painting is the name of the poet quoted within the piece!

Mixed media and gold leaf on canvas.

This piece may be hung either horizontally or vertically - the handwriting purposely works both ways, and it is wired both ways on the back.
