In this series I combine my interest in both painting and sculpture. These florals are painted with oils on travertine stone tiles from Turkey (by way of the tile flooring store). I mask off the one-inch border around the painted image to show the texture of the stone and mount them in black floating frames that show the edge of the tiles. I started again using my asian-style "chop" in red at the bottom. It's a stylized "ki" which means tree in Chinese/Japanese. Baum means tree in German. So, hoping for an east-west global connection. . . Please enjoy--let me know what you think if so inclined.
