Artist's Description
You have to know the expressive heart shapes of this hosta inspired me to create this painting to showcase this favorite gardening shrub. It is the second in a series of hostas featuring heart shapes. I played with the positioning of the leaves until I arrived at this arrangement which features them in all their glory and creates engaging shapes between them. I love that design element in this painting. Every time I look at it I find myself exploring the negative shapes between the leaves. Those delightful little shapes are an important design element that intrigues the viewer and adds interest to the whole.

I just ordered prints of some of my wine pieces here and just love the acrylic prints sandwiched in between the 1/4 inch clear acrylic and black backer board. You'd swear the prints were under glass. The clarity is unbelievable and the thickness of the glass-like acrylic gives the pieces a real substantial presence. The black backer board lends a fine black visual border. The acrylic print option is the way to go for a very sleek, contemporary look. If I order any prints to keep for myself or for gifts, I will choose the acrylic print option over any of the other options, including gallery wrapped canvas prints. I just love the novel, contemporary look it adds!
