Flower #6 (White Flower)
By James Wilson Rayen
Located in Natick, MA
James Wilson Rayen's Flower #6 (White Flower) is one of a series of studies of blossoms, created in the early 2000s after the death of his mother. This oil painting on board, 12 x 9 x 0.75 inches, a delicate and nuanced treatment of white flowers in a simple vase, is unframed, signed on the front and wired on the back. A recurrent theme of the artist's, one that offers limitless variations, is the beauty and individuality of ordinary places and things. In Rayen's words, "memory, after observation, becomes the driving force—one forgets, adds, subtracts, and all take energy and imagination, until the painting becomes the product, not the process."
