[Susan Abston Wiley, Artist] Flower on Fire

[Susan Abston Wiley]

Here's another painting done more or less in the style I learned at a workshop last year with Vie Dunn-Harr.  I started it late last summer, but got stalled fairly quickly.  I picked up my oil paints again a month ago when I took a workshop with Carol Marine, and decided to finish this when I got home.  I didn't spend much time on it the second time around, and it was very liberating to finally finish it.

The genesis was an abstract created from a Paul Gauguin painting, then overlaid with a playful rendition of a stunning red flower I photographed about 5 years ago at a roadside rest in New Mexico.
