SALLY FARRINGTON'S Blush of Petals

I am continually captivated by both the strength and delicacy found in the natural world. My work focuses largely on botanical subjects painted in watercolor with bold, saturated colors. To intensify this effect, I apply a layer of wax to the finished piece, which enriches the color saturation and vibrancy while also protecting the painting so it can be framed without glass, lending the finished piece an enhanced sense of freshness.

“Blush of Petals’ takes you in close to a flurry of cherry blossoms, bursting with colors that blend and bleed into one another, giving the painting a fluid quality. It captures a fleeting moment of spring — evoking the delicate, fresh aroma of the season and offering the viewer a moment of calm.
