Description
A rare opportunity to own an original artwork by noted California artist Leslie Kenneth Price. He personally wrote to Palm Valley to describe his artistic influence and the themes in the painting.
The Influence
My Mom, when she was alive would say: “give my flowers now, while I’m alive, don’t wait until I’m dead”.
I remember as child watching my Mom in our apartment tending to her houseplants, or noticing a weed pushing up through a crack of the cement sidewalk while playing outside. I was always amazed by the power of plants, particularly when it grew through tiny openings in the sidewalk. Those experiences as well as others have influenced my using the observable world, nature, as a reference to inform my paintings.
The themes for these works are about the beauty of life through all of its stages.
