This bouquet of roses is inspired by the art of Henri Fantin-Latour. He painted "Roses in a Vase" in 1872 and I have seen his piece at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA, USA.
I always feel like painting flowers is like painting portraits. Each bloom takes on a personality. In my piece, I couldn't help but think of our family members and the ways we all interact. Some of us are colorful and stand tall, catching the light. Others hide in the shadows. We all share the same vase, and our stems get tangled up sometimes. Together we present a beautiful and fragrant bouquet in this world.
