amaranth 4x8
We have a bunch of these amaranth plants growing in the garden at school. It is a very visually striking plant and it has a ton of uses. •sold

Beautiful! I love how you paired the deep burgandy of the flower with the brown glass. It's a stunning show bloom, and it looks like a farm at the same time.
Wow, we have some of this growing in our garden. I admire your work. i have always like still-lifes and I have recently been painting outside every morning from around 7am to 9 am....great way to start the day.
I am an artist living in Northern California. In 1993 I graduated from
U.C. Davis where I took classes from Wayne Thiebaud, Dave Hollowell and Roy DeForest. I currently teach high school art in Placer County California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. I took a break from that strict schedule for a couple of years but since the beginning of 2014 I have been completing one small painting on a daily basis. The practice of completing a painting a day suits my disposition and aesthetic. I have also found that modeling this sort of daily practice for my students is important. I am making these paintings available on ebay. Thanks for stopping by and check back often if you like what you see.
