Astrid Dahl – Flaying Bloom

140cm x 100cm
acrylic & mixed media on canvas

Flowers are like people, as in having many different types, vulnerabilities, colours and strengths. At times we flail about in confusion or when there is tumult around us. As in flowers, we loose parts of ourselves in the storm but when it dies down, we are still on the stem of life even if we have lost a petal or two. I have painted this flower in the thows of being tossed around, with the beauty and clarity of spirit in its colour and fortitude. Astrid Dahl
