Sutton's Flowers, 22x30
Sutton's Flowers, 22x30
Sunflowers: Each week in August I drove to a different flower farm, cutting garden, or farmer’s market to see which flowers would be waiting for me. It was a beautiful reminder to pause, smell the flowers, and soak in these fleeting days of summer. Read more about the creative process here.
Size: 22x30” // unframed
Details: Mixed media on 100% cotton, 280 gsm cream paper. Title and artist signature will be visible on the front. I loved the rawness of the deckled edges and the warmth it added to my palette. I felt the ethereal feeling of this paper matched the ephemeral nature of the flowers. In each piece you might notice slight smudges, stray marks, and folds in the paper. I personally love this evidence of human touch and I see it as another form of artist signature - elements only seen on original paintings which makes them so special. Each piece has been sprayed with a protective fixative but care should still be taken when handling before framing as the mediums include oil pastel which is non-drying. Included in your package will be a unique letter pressed certificate of authenticity.
Framing: I imagine these paper pieces floated over a mat that contrasts with the cream paper and showcases the deckled edges, then set in a slim frame that complements the color palette or your home’s aesthetic. Please feel free to email me if you have any framing questions. I’ll include my framing guidelines and recommendations with each shipment.
Shipping: Please allow 7-14 days for paintings to ship out of my studio. You will be provided with a tracking number upon shipment. Review my shipping policies here.
