I love every single flower that blooms in my garden. They make me happy and grateful to live in a place where I can grow them. The awareness that their time in the garden is fleeting makes them even more precious.

Deep Purple © Flora Doehler, 2018 Acrylic on Canvas 8″ x 8″ $150

The largest and the smallest paintings in my upcoming exhibition are of flowers.

“Deep Purple” is one of the smallest. I adore the properties of this Dioxazine purple acrylic ink and decided to give the flower that rich colour.

On display at Sissiboo Coffee Bar and Gallery. Bear River Sept 1 – Oct 14; Annapolis Royal Oct 17 – Nov 30, 2018.
