Lilly

This is a line bas-relief carving of lilies done on quarried Monson, Maine black slate stone weighing approx. 6 lbs. and measures approx. 17 x 17 inches framed. This was another of the two pieces picked to be shown in the Maine state capital this winter.

"Lilly" is a captivating tableau that invigorates the senses through its vibrant depiction of nature's splendor. Measuring 17 x 17 inches, this exquisite piece of art utilizes the deep, rich texture of Monson, Maine black slate as its canvas. The central focus is an arrangement of lilies, which burst forth with vitality in a riot of bold outlines and vivid hues. The lilies' petals and stems gracefully dance in shades of green and orange, creating a lively yet harmonious interplay against the artwork's striking black backdrop.

The dramatic contrast accentuates not only the beauty of the flowers themselves but also underscores the artful balance between color and form. Encasing the floral composition is an orange mat and a white border—a carefully chosen frame that both complements and elevates the visual impact of the piece. This thoughtful framing choice not only enhances the focal elements but also adds an extra touch of refinement and elegance to the presentation.

"Lilly" entices viewers to pause and luxuriate in its flourishing details and rhythmic flow, inviting a moment of connection with the timeless allure of floral beauty. This work celebrates the delicate charm and radiant energy of lilies, evoking a sense of tranquility and wonder. Through these vibrant and precise strokes, the artwork summons the viewer into a world where nature's grace is preserved and honored.
