"Gollum Jade" Succulent Collection 12"x12" (Framed)

Simple. Distinct. Intriguing. Welcome to the Simply Succulent Collection.

“Gollum Jade” is painted in oil on a 12"x12" gallery wrapped canvas. This a fun and strange variety of the infamous jade plant is named after the monstrous character from The Lord of The Rings, because it features long, green, tubular leaves with puckering tips, like a trumpet. Do you have a space that needs something a bit quirky? Imagine the conversations you will have with this piece on your wall?!!

The inspiration for this series began while looking through the sunny windows of my studio. The windowsills are the perfect home for my ever-expanding collection of succulents. Their striking forms and textures, array of colors, and easy-care reputation have made them exceedingly popular. These characteristics also made them perfect subjects for painting.

Seeing familiar subjects like plants and flowers from new perspectives is one of the goals of my painting practice. I want to capture shapes, light and shadows while creating harmony with hues and composition, in a way that intrigues the viewer. I hope these sun-loving cheer givers grab your attention and bring a smile to your face.
