Last week, while the U.S. celebrated Independence Day, here in San Francisco we also celebrated the blooming of the Corpse Flower (Amorphophallus titanum) at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. It was the worth the wait in line to get a whiff and have a look. The day I saw the flower, it was no longer especially pungent. What struck me is how big and beautiful it really is. The color is an incredible rusty, blood red. I was inspired to capture the palette with this latest piece in my ongoing Lines and Color Series.
