Artwork Description

Groovy Flower

0.0 x 0.0

My artwork “Groovy Flower” is a symbol of my love to my daughter Victoria, for whom I painted it. When Victoria learned that my painting of a flower, that she liked very much, was sold she got very upset and sad. I decided to paint a flower as a surprise birthday present for her 12th birthday. When I create my “Emotional Counterpoints in Paint – Dots Artworks,” I create “two artworks in one.” That means that I not only do drawing before I paint dots, I create a finished artwork, before I add dots to it. That was the case with Victoria’s surprise painting, which I painted after the storm. We did not have electricity for five days and I could not see very well, but Victoria’s birthday is in September; so, I had little time to finish the painting. I was painting with the flashlight and hid the painting so that Victoria could not see or find it. I liked the “first” painting and since I knew that after I added dots to it nobody would recognize it, I decided to have a professional photo of it made. I brought the painting to a gifted artist and successful business woman - a friend of mine to take a photo of it. She liked the artworks so much, that she insisted that I not add dots to it and keep it as it is. She even gave a name to it “Groovy Flower.” For me now this painting is not only a symbol of my love to my daughter, but it is also a symbol of artist’s camaraderie.
