The Full Sea
I am working on a wedding for a client in mid-September and have the great fortune to lay out all these sunflower heads to dry. How often do you get to create such an intense blanket of yellow? It gives me the same sensation I have when standing in front of Color Field Paintings, like a Rothko or Frankenthaler – these painters and their vast seas of intense and alive color. Working with flowers is like working with 3-D color for me, it’s like holding paint in it’s purest form. Oddly, considering where so many pigment bases come from, it is actually and truely holding paint in it’s purest form.
