The inspiration for this piece of artwork comes from a poem, Song of the Burial of Flowers. The blossoms fade and falling fill the air, Of fragrance and bright hues bereft and bare. One day, when spring has gone and rose has withered. I want to keep the best moment. The picture shows a ray of sunlight shining on a withered rose, whether it can still bloom in the next season or not, but those rose that will never wither in my heart.
Citrus Basket is one in a series of basket paintings--a vintage indigenous people's basket filled with a variety of citrus fruits & their leaves.
Each painting is an "offering" not in a religious sense but in the primal way we acknowledge things that both give us pleasure and are gifts to others. These paintings are more realistic and have fewer identifiable brushstrokes almost in an attempt to share scent & texture. To add a bit of wit, the pattern of leaping fish that would do well cooked with citrus. They say-- paint what you love.
