"Abby in Contemplation" $4,080
As an artist I am deeply interested in the work of other creative professionals, who like me, make beautiful things for a living. This painting is an example of that.
Abby comes from a celebrated family of floral designers. I found her one day deeply engaged in making arrangements for a wedding. I was drawn in by the look of concentration on her face and the way the light was illuminating her form. The simple black ribbon worn around her porcelain neck seemed an homage to the woman in Manet’s “A Bar at Folies-Bergère”. It was the combination of all these elements that captivated me and inspired me to paint her.
