Plum Blossoms.
I was commission by NYC to paint these barrier benches, located in Straus Square on the Lower East Side. I painted them in September and they were installed in October. Not long after, the inevitable happened, my bench was tagged with purple spray paint. They asked me to touch up the green bench (the yellow bench was spared) which I did last week.
It was a wonderful idea for them to turn the barries into benches and into pieces of functional artwork. I am so grateful to be participating and making our neighborhood (my hometown) a little nicer.
Come by, have a seat, watch the people go by, one of NYC's pastimes, people watching.
Representing good fortune reflected back to you, the Peony encourages one to bestow good fortune on others. We can all use a little of that, right? These luscious pink flowers descend into emerald green waters. The peony scarf is available now at a 25% discount. Would make a great birthday or Valentine's day gift for that amazing woman in your life. Or, treat yourself!
Bright and cheery, warm and inviting with their bright yellow flowers reflecting the summer sun. They are rich in history and symbolize adoration, loyalty and longevity. Bursting from the stems, they remind us of their namesake, the sun itself.
