bloom, closure
i wasn't fully satisfied with my wordplay project for bloom. i just loved the word so much, and though i enjoyed my studies of the peonies, i didn't feel that i had done justice to the word. so i worked on a second project.
it's 22x30, mixed media on paper. i'm awfully pleased, and feeling fully at peace with bloom.
now, on to cover.
I quite literally LOVE this painting. The colors and repetitive circles especially.
