May Flowers
The flower paintings were an exploration in the process of temporary observation. Painted between January and May of 2021 they were an attempt to ground myself in process. Flowers while beautiful and engaging turn and die within days of bloom, so as an artist I was chasing what I saw the day before and could rarely capture in the previous moment. I wanted these paintings to not only express beauty but also the layers of a finished unfinishedness. As in life with painting there is a lack of control and the mind tries to land on the fixedness. While the eye in the moment sees what I thought to know, when I look again my projection falls away. Painting flowers is a lesson of embracing the moment and then allowing in the letting go.
For me the flower paintings were a lifeline to self as I tried to understand that beauty, anger, joy and despair can exist simultaneously. In seeing life as a balance between all the complexities of emotion, response, and beingness. I can find the strength to bring myself into presence. I can learn to recognize in difficult times, life isn’t always without light everywhere. And that even when I can’t think clearly, I can find enough trust to see myself through.
As I reach through my painting process to continue to create a bridge to myself. It is my hope that I can also help to create pathways for others in their own healing. These words are my thoughts today as I share this art with others. These images are meant to elicit both joy and contemplation, and I thank you for allowing me to share them with you. JF
