The Beauty of Nature

Anna Feld is a painter in the American Tonalist tradition, currently living in New York city. Surrounded by plants and flowers seemed to be a vision of her time in the studio.

The flowers have everything needed as subjects: gesture, line, color, and an infinite variety of form. They are emblems of beauty and the brevity of life, and as such, they can change quickly, mirroring different stages of their life.

These works are not meant to be botanically correct, nor are they imaginary. A dropped petal or the addition of a leaf is always possible.
