Cup of Gold

8×8″ oil paint on canvas panel; if you click on the “Art Store” button above, you can find many more florals of all kinds.

Each Mother’s Day, after celebrating all the mothers, my brother and his wife send each guest home with a small spring planting. I am always attracted to the living, flowering gem emerging from a simple paper cup. This year, I chose a yellow Marigold, now casually memorialized in paint.
