Chrysanthemums taking shape...Rough stages but getting there bit by bit. You can't see the deep purple tones in the background behind the vase but they're there. Hopefully once I scan this, those colors will reappear.

'Falling In Slow Motion' by Cierra G. Rowe

| A vase of Carnations pause in this scene, as they fall in slow motion — leaving one to wonder if they actually do end up falling over and breaking or if, by some blessed chance, they regain composure. https://www.artofcierra.com/product/falling-in-slow-motion |
'Falling In Slow Motion': Layering
Progress on 'Falling In Slow Motion'. I began this painting on a whim last night but it has changed a great deal since then - touching more on it this afternoon, working with shadow and playing with light. Like all of my paintings, there are several inspirations behind it. For instance, I have a vase here that I have a fear of breaking - beacuase it means so much to me. I began thinking about it last night while looking at shadows created by the lamp and considered how I could interpret some of that within this painting as a whole. Gradually I'm progressing towards what I want to capture. This is an emotional piece, centered on fragility, beauty and my continued intrigue of flowers.

Up late painting flowers ...
There is something about flowers that really cheer me up. Painting (and drawing) them out isn't only therapeutic but also hold sentimental value to me. There are so many beautiful blooms out there, exotic and rare. Even the weeds have a certain charm to them.
