Large Petunias

Soft Pastel - completed 1991

16 7/8" x 21 3/4"

Done in much the style of Georgia O'Keefe, this
was a study of sunlight playing on flowers. White Canson
paper literally makes the colors jump off the paper. Viewers often
enjoy the illusion of the softness of the petals and the buds. This
was also included in the Racine Art Guild 1992 Spring Show at Wustum
Museum, Racine. In 1993, it was included in the Connecticut Pastel
Competition in Wallingford, CT, and the Grand Exhibition of the Akron
Society of Artists, Akron, OH.
