Abstract flower painting commission for private residence in Morgan Hill, California.
The Anthony-Grunbaum family was looking for a painting with restrained palette for their new home and requested that the painting somehow incorporate “5”, to represent their family. I created a color palette based on their living room environment, and after determining that they liked my Wild Nasturtiums painting and preferred blended brushstrokes, I created an adaptation of this floral painting with five abstract flowers — two representing the parents, and three representing their young children. The aim was for a loving representation of their family, with some drips, abstraction, and the restrained palette keeping the painting complex, layered, and interesting.
