50.8 x 50.8 x 3.81cm (unframed) / 50.8 x 50.8cm (actual image size)

£604.16

“Past and Present” is an Impressionistic painting with a foreground of strong and prominent irises intermingling with others that fade into the background, signifying the way that seeing seasonal blooms conjures up feelings and memories of gardens, events and people from our past. Perhaps the connection we feel is to a beloved matriarch, a wedding day or magical springtime gardens of our childhood.

Unlike the other paintings in this series, pale pink plays a stronger role in this painting, loosely woven throughout the background. Paired with cool greens and Sienna colored crayon, the color palette evokes feeling of nostalgia.

“Past and Present” is painted in acrylic, and the irises drawn with wax pastels, making it truly unique and special. It measures 20” x 20” x 1.5” on gallery wrapped canvas. The sides are painted a muted light green hue. It is varnished to protect the painting from UV light, dust and moisture. Signed on the front, the painting ships rom Chicago and arrives wired and ready to display.
