Acacia, from the series "interior paintings with flowers"

A little while ago, I decided to take some of the small canvases I had lying around the studio and paint some flowers. What emerged was a series of still lifes of interior paintings. Some were known intimately to me, a few were made from memory and remembered photographs. I wanted emotion without the figure. Don't we all, some times?

Painting a small, simple painting is harder than painting a large complex one - a single slip and you've lost it. Good for concentration!
