Spring IS coming

“Efflorescence” (oil on canvas), by Stacey Cushner, in her current show of the same name at Kingston Gallery, Boston

The gallery says: The work “was created as a means to provide daily certainty amidst global suffering. Turning to an almost scientific process to glazing with oil paint, Cushner used the pandemic lockdown to learn glazing techniques and keenly observe the natural world. Her study of plant life drew out the fundamental aspect of being wholly present at the moment, a realization found only once the pandemic changed everything. Using flowers, particularly tulips, to symbolize love and rebirth, Cushner seeks to remind viewers of spring’s endless possibilities.’’
