Here is a little bit about it - I originally painted an experimental piece on this canvas in 2021, called Violet Flame. It was very different than anything I had done, and I kept it around until this year, when I painted a new piece over it, which I liked a lot.

After my trip to Japan in April 2024, I was inspired to create new pieces, with the frame in mind of the highest quality I could do. So I looked at the second painting on this canvas and asked myself “is this my best work?” The answer was no, so then I painted it a third time, which is the piece you see now, and it’s staying this way for good, because I absolutely love it.
