The Colors of the Dahlia Dell

 

All summer long I keeping stopping by the Dahlia Dell.  It is right next to the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park.  Each week the flowers are bigger and bigger and exploding with more and more colors.   They have inspired my art before, and this year I wanted to use the palette for this latest piece in my ongoing Lines and Color Series.

Inspired by the Dahlia Garden (Dell) in Golden Gate Park which is a place I visit often at the end of Summer when the dahlias are blooming.  It’s one of my favorite places in the park.

This is one of a series of four pieces that will be in the upcoming 22nd Annual Pink Week Exhibit at Warehouse Artists Lofts in Sacramento.  The show will be up from November 13 to December 10, 2015.  At the same location and dates, I am the curator for a Pink Mail Art show with mail art from over 100 artists around the world.
