let there be dead flowers

As some of you may know, I have been working on a series of paintings on canvas and paper that are my "dead flower series" . This sounds desperately sad without seeing these works.
I find great beauty in a withering plant or dead flower. There is a sense of possibility and renewal within its death. Thus, I have made these paintings with a brightness and lush and colorful sentiment, creating a feeling of potential.
