Valeur

Oils on matboard, 2009.

Here is Valeur, tentative in name and condition. It's another one I'm leaving to reassess another day. I rarely work from still life (or in this case, composite photography still life), so it's quite a departure from the norm. I'm pleased with the direction it's taking; particularly its similarities with more classical artwork. I was searching for a unique and rare assortment of flora for the piece, and found both at Hollister Hovey's blog. King Protea and Figs! Wonderfully tasteful and tragically expensive.
