For the ninth month, September, Morning Glories are the associated flower.
Design notes:
The painting centers on morning glory flowers—delicate trumpet-shaped blooms and heart-shaped leaves—arranged across the canvas in a natural, flowing rhythm. Capture the day's first light by emphasizing soft gradients, pale lavenders, blues, soft pinks, and white highlights where the sun catches the curves. Let the flowers vary in bloom stage—tightly furled buds, half-open cups, and fully unfurled blossoms—to convey motion and the passage of early morning.
Contrast the organic forms with an abstract background that supports but does not overpower the flowers. Use layered washes and textured marks: broad, muted fields of color, faint geometric shapes, or loose gestural strokes that suggest rather than literal landscape elements. Texture and brushwork balances detail and abstraction.
The mood is serene, fresh, and quietly luminous—an intimate, early-morning study where the delicate beauty of morning glories meets an abstract, atmospheric environment.
4”x12 acrylic painting on canvas, includes a summary of the flower and symbolic association
“Morning glories are annual or perennial vines that bloom early summer to early fall. Their trumpet-like flowers open in the morning and close by afternoon, hence their name. They come in a variety of colors, including blue, purple, pink, red, and white and can have a contrasting colored throat.
Morning glories symbolizes love, affection, and the fleeting nature of life. They also represent new beginnings due to new flowers forming each morning.”
