Silphium
Silphium
Original painting. Acrylic, pastel, and graphite on canvas.
16" x 20" x 1.5"
This original painting on canvas features an abstract floral design rendered in a soft mix of acrylic, pastel, and graphite. Expressively referenced through layered paint, faint scribbles, and pastel mark making are the tall green stems and bright yellow blooms of silphiums, prairie wildflowers commonly referred to as compass plants, due to their unique ability to help explorers find their way via the plants' leaves, which reliably grow in a north-south direction. An original piece, the work adds a symbolic touch of the spirit of adventure imbued with the confidence to find one's own way.
The painting will arrive signed by the artist. The work is titled, dated, and wired in the back, ready to hang. Edges are painted white to display without a frame.
