Fleur de Nostalgie (Flower of Longing)
About this artwork
Cynthia drew inspiration for this abstract floral scene from a brilliant bouquet of flowers in her studio. She says she used expressionistic brushwork to intensify the energy from the blossoms to create something different and unique. The semi-representational red berries draw the viewer into the scene. Quick, assured brushstrokes develop the leaves and petals. And Cynthia completely eliminated the vase, just using the subtle outline of a table to set the space.
