Fragrance

50” × 40” | Acrylic on Canvas | Blossom Dearie Series | Original Painting

Fragrance, part of the Blossom Dearie Series, is an exuberant celebration of color, movement, and the intoxicating abundance of a garden in full bloom. Sweeping floral forms emerge, overlap, and dissolve into one another, creating a rhythmic cascade of coral, crimson, pink, turquoise, gold, and luminous white.

At an impressive 50 × 40 inches, the painting has a joyful physical presence. Some blossoms are immediately recognizable, while others drift toward abstraction—suggesting petals, vines, seeds, and organic forms caught in continual motion. Intricate painted details punctuate the larger gestures, encouraging the eye to travel through the canvas and discover something new with every viewing.

The title Fragrance evokes something that cannot actually be seen but can instantly awaken memory and emotion—the lingering scent of flowers, a garden in summer, or a moment remembered. Here, that sensory experience is translated into paint: fragrance becomes color, flowers become movement, and the entire canvas seems to bloom.

Vibrant, romantic, and unapologetically alive, Fragrance embodies the spirit of the Blossom Dearie Series, celebrating the beauty, sensuality, and expressive freedom found in the natural world.
