Ida Simmons Hopeful Oil on canvas panel 12 x 9 $250

"Cherry blossoms symbolize emergence. This tree proclaims a new season and promises that the natural world will go on as it always has. Yet, there is a puzzling element partially hidden behind the tree: solar panels. This composition is quite outside my comfort zone because, heretofore, I have edited out distracting objects. In this painting, however, I included the solar panels 1) to emphasize their use of light, and 2) to help the viewer accept shiny, bright manmade objects in the natural world."
