Daisy Still Life, Oil Painting

2021

Artist Comments
"A solitary deep pink daisy in an antique cup paired with a dried flower seed pod found on the path of my afternoon walk," shares artist Nicole Lamothe. This delicate still life features a vivid pink hue that gently contrasts the pale green color of the wall to the dried flowers and muted mantel in the foreground. Light falls from the right corner of the composition casting shadows to the left. "I created this painting by direct observation."

About the Artist
Artist Nicole Lamothe melds time and the beauty of nature in her nostalgic floral still life compositions. After Nicole's children entered college, she went back to school for her MFA and now devotes much of her time and effort into practicing and perfecting her artistic goals. The bouquets depicted in her paintings come from a variety of sources, including gifts of affection, purchased from her local florist or handpicked in her garden. Each of Nicole's oil paintings first starts out as a drawing. "When I begin a drawing for a painting, the flowers haven't bloomed," shares Nicole. "The flowers will slowly bloom and the final painting is a narrative of growth that takes place over the course of several days." In her free time, Nicole enjoys pottery, embroidery, sewing and tending to her garden. Her artwork has been exhibited in New York, California, Florida, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
