I know, I know. I am the queen of snazzy titles for these little studies. It might not get much snazzier, so I hope you love the paintings themselves. I loved playing with the brushwork here, coaxing the waxy leaves out of the canvas, letting its delicate shadow wrap around the flower, and letting most everything else fade into the background, just suggesting the shapes that might be lurking there.
When I was in art school, I might have called something like this, "The Antidisestablishmentarianism of Public Education in Great Britain Between World Wars I and II." (Oh who am I kidding? I called everything that in art school.) If you went to art school at pretty much any university you know what I'm talking about.
