Isaac Smith - Artist - Growing ... an Oil Painting

We have a hanging basket in front of a window in our bedroom that has been quickly growing. One branch has an elegant flow/curve to it. Emotionally it struck a cord with me and felt the urge to paint the essence of the flow. The title comes from the small shoot at the end of the branch where a new leaf is growing and is also a metaphor for my painting. I wanted a simple background with a warm color and felt a wash of yellow ochre would be a beautiful compliment to the greens/yellows of the plant. After completing the painting, I think that it looks like a Japanese screen, which is a wonderful outcome.

Growing is 24" by 60".
