This was part of a series of 6 floral ACEOs (Art Cards Editions and Originals). Beside the Alpine Shooting Star, this one is my favorite. I have never seen this flower in real life, but I hope to someday.
It was fun to work on such a small canvas, but I soon gave up. For one thing, it is MUCH easier to create a larger piece and then reduce it in size. All the exquisite details you want to convey on such a small scale (3" x 5") is very difficult. Additionally, I determined early on that, at a time when I was more interested in marketing my work, I should not be spending so much time working on things that brought me little more than self gratification. Retirement years would be a better time for such things.
