This painting comes from a group of related works titled “Backyard Botanical.” The subject is plant life that can be found right at hand in the yard or patio. In this piece, I have used a thick, rough paint application to suggest the inner vitality of the subject and the wildness of the earth, even in the face of our efforts to tame it.
