“Resilient Rose” memorializes a bud waring against the cold of November. Unfazed by the season, this flower blazes on in allure, inspiring us to bear life’s hard seasons with grace.
My goal with this piece was to use only tertiary colors. In application these often ran adjacent to their complement. This color palette works with a high level of chroma to create a feeling of intensity reflective of the flower’s strained state.
