SUMMER PORTRAIT

SUMMER is the personification of Summer from the Season Portraits Series. Her facial features are created out of the natural elements from that season.The plumeria flowers symbolize birth, love, and new beginnings. The spiritual meaning of cactus is one of endurance. It symbolizes the ability to see beyond what is visible with the naked eyes. Coral reef is an indicator of the health of the environment and the mango a symbol of longevity. The snails represent slow and continuous movement, and the sacred space of home. The cedar waxwings begin to nest in the early autumn months and symbolize the transition from one season to another. 

My Season Portraits Series is painted with richly pigmented water-soluble oil paints made by Royal Talens, a paint company that is committed to sustainability. They’re painted on 48x48 inch cotton canvases that I texture myself with a heavy-bodied gesso and each canvas has a 1.5 inch wood frame.

Oil paintings take extra care in packing and shipping. I will cover the cost of having each oil painting professionally packed and secured in wooden crates. You will need to cover the cost of shipping. Contact me to discuss shipping & delivery.
