After being rejected by a well-known New York art dealer because my work lacked any kind of dark, narrative undercurrents, I decided to get even.  I baked a loaf of Irish soda bread, full of currants, and set it over an Ann Rice novel.  I deeply enjoy Ms. Rice's work, and this particular novel is a dark narrative about witches and a race of not-quite-humans. Therefore, I had created a painting with a dark narrative under currants. Other paintings featuring flowers are Cut Flowers, Dana’s Flowers, Summer Garden, and Mona Lisa Dances With Poppies.
