One gloriously oversized bloom takes up nearly the entire canvas, unfolding in layers of hot pink, coral, blush, magenta, and flashes of orange. Loose black lines, delicate dotted details, and touches of metallic gold trace their way across the petals, while rich green leaves and plump pink buds wind around her. Behind it all, turquoise, chartreuse, pink, and gold peek through in scraped and layered patches of color.
She is big. She is frilly. She is unapologetically pink. And she has absolutely no intention of making herself smaller so the rest of the garden can have more room.
Hello Dolly! is a named as a little nod to Dolly Parton and the enormous, joyful space she occupied in the world. Not simply because she sparkled, but because she shared so much of that light with other people. This painting is about showing up fully as yourself, giving generously from what you have, and making a little more room in the garden for everyone to belong.
Comes framed, ready to hang.
