Red Gerbera Daisies and a Rose - Original Oil Painting by Robyn Palescandolo Size:40x40" as if lit from withinThis painting came slowly, and not without resistance. I began with the red gerbera daisies and rose for their celebratory color, the way the greens cut through the bouquet with such freshness and contrast. But as the work unfolded, it became less about capturing flowers and more about finding my way through uncertainty. There are rough edges here, unresolved spaces, places where the forms dissolve into suggestion. Those are the parts I love most.
