“The bougainvillea is a very uncommon subject to choose for a still life painting.
Gathering blossoms of different colors requires time
to trim branches from many plants.
It is full of prickles and often a painful sacrifice to make a bouquet.
Their cut branches quickly fade and require focus and speed to paint.
The luminosity radiating as the light passes through its delicate petals,
makes it all worthwhile.
Each bloom is like a study in stained glass where the color glows in the light.”
Sir Roland Richardson
