The wife of a past friend is the subject here. Mel is a flower farmer and her beauty and strength in a profession that is more typically held by men is inspiring to me. Here she is in her greenhouse, showing off a harvest of spring onions. 

This painting was part of my 2025 solo exhibition “Salty and Dark”. It is now available directly from my Denver-area studio. For purchase inquiries please email me at noelle@noellephares.com.
