Snowdrops

About the Piece

A beautifully rendered image of a bunch of snowdrops from the garden where the artist lives. Heavy-headed blooms scatter across the composition, brightened by a vivid, cross-hatched red and green background. The materiality (the evidence of paint and mark-making) adds to the liveliness. A gorgeous and uplifting work, glowing with energy and spirit.
