Floral Reflections SOLD

Floral Reflections 30x40 Sold.

 This fresh liquid field of blue watery splashes of cool color, surrounded by warm yellows, oranges and reds that reside in this composition of feminine movements comprised of sensual swirls, circles and arcs. What one would imagine if flowers live under a surface of H2O. Almost totally free of masculine hard edges, straight lines or right angles. This canvas found a home with a notable collector in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Goodbye Floral Abstract

Pam Floyd of Pamela Jean Gallery in Roanoke informed Harkrader of the acquisition of my 'Floral Abstract' by an important Roanoke collector. He hated to see it go, but this floral dancing has a good home.

This painting was the study executed in advance of the two previous corporate commissions revealed in a previous post.

Today in the studio, the artist continued the work on his next floral which has been in progress since early December.

Frigid Temp & Floral Abstract In Progress

Brrr! There is only one thing that warms frigid weather-- Snow! All this cold weather is going to waste without it. Have you noticed how peaceful and quite it is when the powder falls? Light ambiance is elevated in frigid weather; ask the stars if it isn't so tonight. Hakrader had a working session in the studio today, working mostly on the floral abstract. He embedded color black to give the work 'song'. Black can be sophisticated and may evoke strong impressions. The interior of the studio may seem diverse because it is. Multiple on-going series are in progress that seem to never end. The abstract floral on the easel is in progress and there are approximately 20 completed canvases in this 'Corolla' series. The nude (above-left) is from early work. One of Harkrader's beloved canvases on the rear wall is from the 'Action' series, of which there are a dozen or more. Everything seen in this image is available. See http://www.harkraderx.com/ to study the ongoing series.
