A bunch of folks gathered before my daughter's wedding to assemble bouquets for the tables. They were all on our black granite counter (the flowers, not the folks) and looked so striking I took a bunch of photos of them. Then I figured they'd make an interesting painting. I started painting the background. But the task of painting it was so daunting to me, the canvas just sat there for a month or two. I finally decided to just plunge in and do it. This is the result.
My love of the arts began early on in life and was greatly influenced by an inspiring photography teacher in high school. I began teaching myself to paint in 2019 and have had my work exhibited in numerous shows in the Detroit area. One of the joys of being an artist is looking at the world in totally different ways and discovering a painting or photograph in a million unexpected places. For inquiries: dominmark@yahoo.com
