Sweet Jasmine # 8

Sweet Jasmine is the eighth painting of twelve in my mini series "Studio garden". The tiny white flowers burst with a heavenly scent that is said to improve your mood. I love the dark green swirling tendril coiling itself around the fence. The flowers have a variety of petals from four to nine. It can be trained to climb anything and is fast growing. I picked and painted this flower for you as a reminder that spending time in nature is one of the best ways to improve your mood.

I enjoy the challenge of capturing the essence of a subject by balancing traditional drawing and painting techniques with gestural marks.
Through daily painting practice, my attention is focused on the present moment; creating paintings that seek to bring awareness to the inherent value of everyday objects.

Art can help us slow down and see things we have never seen before, bringing new and helpful perspectives.
I believe viewing art and the art-making process are vital tools for wellness.
