Sources of Inspiration

"Light Blue Pitcher" 5" x 10" Pastel

The inspiration for this piece came from a British murder-mystery show I discovered on my Netflix account.  It is called Rosemary & Thyme and features professional gardeners who are also amateur detectives.  If you find inspiration in flowers, the show is a treasure trove!

I saw some very unusual flowers in a vase in the background of a greenhouse scene, and that became a springboard for this artwork.  It differs from that scene a great deal, but I find most satisfaction in a piece when I let it show me where it needs to go instead of adhering rigidly to references.
