'Ghost Pipe No.4'
original art
8x8
goldenrod, oil on canvas
 
Ghost Pipe, a chlorophyll-less plant, often grows in bunches on the forest floor. Some say that the spots where this plant grows mark places where friends once quarreled. The discovery of such a plant is a sign that we should seek out and repair relationships that may be in need of mending. In this composition, the blooms of these ghostly flowers and the space around them are reversed, creating an explosion of color.
 
This piece is part of the series “Of September.” In the colder days, when things are a bit more difficult, the memory of September keeps us going when we need it most. All original works in the series include some hand-made pigment from goldenrod plants which were harvested at the height of their bloom. The paintings in this series serve as a reminder of nature's most bountiful and generous season.
 
Please consider measurements carefully before purchase and take the time to view colors on different monitors, as colors may appear different on different devices. I have done my best to represent all artworks accurately. All works are signed, stamped, and titled individually by the artist.
 
Please note that your purchase does not include a frame. This mounted canvas original arrives ready to hang with picture wire, so it doesn’t need to live in a frame. If you are unsure about framing, I have created a guide for you here.
