Floral Abstract Earth is Available

Floral Abstract Earth is complete and was photographed for the archives today. This painting is from the 'Corolla' series that follows the paintings recently sold & blogged in December and January posts. The size is 36"x48" and the medium is mixed. Three black fibers run vertically down the left and right side of the front plane. The palette colors are softer than earlier versions; earthly & less action which slows the canvas down in a restful manner. Areas around the yellow floral are extremely deep with medium giving this and the entire canvas an exceptionally 3D quality when viewed close up. The canvas has been in progress for about 6 weeks. Support my work by purchasing this canvas. For details, visit my website to leave me a message.

Harkrader Installation for AECOM


It is frigid today, but not as cold as the night Harkrader landed in Prudhoe Bay Alaska (-69 F) enclosed in the cabin of a Twin Otter aircraft. This morning it was 21 degree F and we landed at the studio on Church Avenue via the family Camry. Harkrader brushed a final varnish on a completed painting, followed by additional layers of paint and medium on my newest floral abstract. He doesn't think it will be finished before he goes to Charlotte. The above photo images are of the AECOM corporate lobby with the Harkrader installation completed. (Photos by Ellen)

Floral Abstracts from the Corolla Series


Two large commissioned painting were installed on the 16th floor of AECOM corporate lobby. Large floral abstracts titled 'Floral Architecture' & 'Symphonic Floral'.
From the Harkrader ‘Corolla Series’:
Canvas title for 36x66 = Symphonic Floral (a musical composition, many times in four movements and my flowers represent the movement)
Canvas title for 60x66 = Floral Architecture (relates to the environment in which flowers live and/or to the structure of the flower itself - ‘Biomimicry’)
