Flowers for the unresolved 100 x 100cm POA

“ Flowers for the unresolved ”

Oil on canvas     100cm x 100cm

I started this piece in France, this year, while trying to escape the winter sadness that seems to take a little more of me every year. It was of a distemper painted wall, that i had marvelled at one time in Spain, it was sumptuous and rich and a feast for the eyes.

The model here is Jade, with her blue jacket and casual disinterest, she brought to this piece all it needed.

But studying it for few months i found there was some thing missing, something unresolved.

Last month I found myself in the Bluebell woods in Jenkinstown, Kilkenny. I gathered up some for the house and it was that evening I saw that this piece needed ……..                

 Flowers to be resolved.

And this is the artistic process.
