This painting is a hand-painted batik on satin silk. Layers of fiber reactive dyes and soy wax were used to build all colors.
Flowers with ruffled edges have always intrigued me and I wanted to express my feelings towards them. In this painting, I focused most of my effort in building layers of blue and violet to create depth and contrast, illumination and water.
This original composition was inspired by several ink drawings I did depicting “Blue Parrot” tulips.
