A Summertime Painting


Summer Still Life, oil on canvas, 24"x 20", $350. This painting is of a flower called cleome. My Grandmother used to grow these in her garden. She called them spider plants. I love the way they have all those feathery seed pods and petals. I grow these in my own garden. They grow to be about 4 feet tall. One day in late August after a heavy rain I found them laying over, uprooted by the weight of the rain. They called to me to be painted and 3 flowers seemed like a perfect grouping.
