New Paintings in the Botanical Series

Here are a few new paintings in the Botanical Series –

still life, painting, flower, — Vase and Vessel | 12×12 | Oil | CJK-Studio

This small painting inspired the large work below – I was attracted to the muted tones and calm clean palette.

encaustic, oil, wax, painting, still life, flowers — Dancing Irises | 40×30 | Oil Encaustic | CJK-Studio

I was inspired to do this larger painting ” Dancing Irises” having painted a smaller version of this still life set up ” Vase and Vessel”. The Irises provide rhythm and movement in a calm muted set up. – I like the play of frenzy and composure.

Peaceful Pose | 24×24 | Oil Encaustic | CJK-Studio

Peaceful Posy – Layers of paint and wax this is an extremely textural painting.

Botancial Paintings — Mirror Life | 40×30 each | Oil Encasutic | CJK-Studio

A pair of paintings – (Placement on either side of a bookcase) – The challenge and interest for me was to explore rhythm and balance.
