Grey Flower – A Sold Painting

Before Grey Flower I had made several paintings that used flowers as subject matter – Rose, Lotus, Japanese Magnolia, to name a few. But Grey Flower was the first of its kind where I used a predominantly grey palette.

Perhaps I had been influenced by an earlier portrait commission I had painted of a racehorse and the fact that I was offering an increasing amount of my works on paper as grey variations.

I think I am interested in the neutrality of grey and its ability to almost bring an image forward into clear focus. It also works especially well on a colored background.

Grey Flower In The Hamptons

Everyone likes to escape the city now and then, especially in the summer, and one of those places that New Yorkers flee to is the Hamptons.  Many of our collectors rent a place out there each year or have bought a place. And a new home often means bare walls! As a result, quite a few of my paintings have now made that journey eastwards and its been wonderful for us to see them hanging in these types of settings. Thanks to all our Hamptons collectors, you know who you are! Grey Flower sold earlier this year and works a treat in the bedroom above.
