This beautiful Protea Flower came from my local flower shop. The background in this artwork was initially very muted as I wanted to keep the focus on the amazing Protea. However I pondered on whether there was more than meets the eye. I took the strongest colour on my paint pallet and added a brush stroke to the background.
To my surprise, this addition created a deeper sense of character. In this artwork, the Protea resembles a source of strength as it holds its ground when challenged by the vibrant yet dominant red pallet. I feel these two components bounce off each other in a way that represents harmony and synchronicity. Furthermore, I see this coincidental artwork showcases the vibrancy of red and the strength the Protea as they balance in harmonious synchronism.
