Flower Power Girl

By Kathleen Ross

Roses and gesture drawings brought about this work. I was working intently for some time on a difficult problem when I received an unexpected gift. I realized that I had been overwhelmed with work and the gift made me feel happy. That is when I made this artwork. The artwork portrays a female figure with blue hair, sunglasses, and a green dress, standing in a thicket of roses. The overlapping images allows some of the leaves and stems from the roses to create a texture on the dress and legs of the figure. The background is split vertically, to show a change in color combinations that contrast with the figure. This artwork really expresses a calm and happy moment: a moment of strength and creativity. In a world filled with strife, it’s very helpful to find moments of joy and I think this artwork conveys that feeling. I choose to create digital artwork because it is better for the environment. When a collector wants to purchase a piece, it can be printed as needed.
