While undoubtedly an eye catching oil painting visually Purple Petals is so much more than an optical rendition of its title. Within the natural world the color purple is rare indeed. Feminine to the core it symbolizes romance and sophistication and a certain luxury with regards to taste and concepts. Yet because of its rarity it holds an air of falsehood within our minds eye,  as we confuse rarity with untruths and non reality.

This canvas art  holds a narrative that reaches beyond the visual and into the psychological, questioning how we constantly challenge what is real. While the Purple Petals grow tall with their vertical stems of olive green standing bold against a textured background; horizontal stems challenge that reality. Clean blue tones stand out against white, forcing us to go around and round absorbing color and form. This is a composition that is fresh and very much alive in this world: Not an untruth as we might instinctively suspect.

Purple Petals would enhance the world of those who embrace femininity and rarity: Appealing to those who enjoy being challenged by reality, not accepting pretence. Is that not the true nature of the world!  A world full of perceived untruths that only exist because our minds cannot accept what is real: A powerful oil painting , ideal for collectors who are able to challenge those concepts.
