Lori Dubois' Garden Variety A

A nearly square composition, Garden Variety A by Lori Dubois arrives through John Richard as a study in botanical quietude — watercolor on paper rendered with the softness of natural light and housed within a satin gold wood frame whose proportions feel as considered as the work itself. At just over thirty-three inches in each direction, the piece occupies a wall with confidence rather than insistence, its depth of less than two inches allowing the imagery to press forward as the sole subject of attention. The satin gold finish bridges the organic spirit of the painting with the formality one expects of a collected work, lending the whole an editorial refinement suited to interiors where art is chosen, never merely placed.
