At 40” x 40”, this highly sculptural and textured painting juxtaposes oil paint together with concrete, creating stunning tension, drama, and an unexpected approach to the traditional still-life. This painting was inspired by a true story, in which a local herbalist’s medicinal plant and flower garden got paved over by the city to create a parking lot. This painting tries to recreate that story and action- a garden was first tenderly painted, and then oil pant was mixed with concrete to “pave over” the existing work. The painting is currently framed in a grey-brown wood textured floating frame. (Total dimensions with frame: 42.25” x 42.25”)
