Caboose Explosion Dahlia
Oil on Canvas
18" x 24"
2000
This was one of my husband's favorite Dahlias. We grew it for a couple of years but it just wasn't hardy enough to withstand my gardening technique, the soggy Northwest weather, and the cold, even digging it up each winter and transplanting it in the spring. The petals felt like velvet and the center felt like wax.
I've kept it hanging in my studio off and on over the years for when I needed a shot of color in my life.
