“Picasso Petunia”

Original painting is oil paint on canvas, 20”w. x 28”h.

Petunias are one of the first flowers I could identify as a child.

They graced the stoops of my NYC neighborhood, dressing them up for Summer.

Petunias have that flair for transforming their dull environments into the extraordinary.

This particular one is a recent cultivar named after an artist who also had that flair.
