Your painting definitely shows the beauty of transformation!. The violence nature can create made glorious. You can feel the sharp cracking and destruction of the killing frost. Congratulations on being selected for the exhibition.
Thank you! When I saw this call ‘Night of the Killing Frost’ immediately came to mind (I completed it last November). It is a bittersweet moment in the fall when the flowers come to an abrupt end.
This painting has so much movement and depth. I imagine your emotions in walking out into your garden the morning after.
A swirl of emotions, yes! Even after a long season, I never like seeing it come to an abrupt end. Thanks for the comment!
