Simply Complicated: Discoveries While Walking

Artist Statement

Simply Complicated
Life seems so simple
Yet the juggle is so complicated
But what matters is so simple?

I was painting this while juggling all that life throws at me and was struck by art imitating life. I thought when I started this painting, at first glance it was much simpler than my usual flower, and yet the more I painted the more complexity I discovered!! What beauty in the simplest things we find.

How amazing is this little discovery? But the more you look at it the more you discover its extraordinary complexity.
