Valentines Day Still Life

Valentines Day Still Life Boquet 24 x 20" oil on panel

Corbin took a polaroid picture of her Valentines Day flowers, and when I saw the photo, I knew that I had to paint the bouquet. I juxtaposed some floral drapery behind the flowers, which play off the bouquet and add rhythm by repeating the shapes. I also added some bananas and peaches to the setup, which are a look back to my goin' bananas still life paintings from 2013. This piece has presence on the wall and is full of fun pattern and color. 

I made a Youtube video featuring this painting check it out:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89BYUn9jfmc&t=73s
