Description
The painting depicts elements taken from the artist’s studio and personal life. Bold in stature, vivid colors, and uncomplicated, are the two amaryllis seen here standing side-by-side in upright and open attention. The amaryllis has special significance in Jim McVicker’s life. He received his first plant from a friend at the time of announcing his wedding engagement, and since then, each spring the artist celebrates his anniversary with a pair of amaryllis to symbolize the couple's love for one another. The Oriental carpet adds texture and creates an intriguing backdrop to the scene as it meanders and folds, and seems to protrude from its plane. The design in the carpet is also part of the story, as the weave relates to the story of Paradise and the Garden of Eden. The artist’s ability to project a three-dimensional effect is particularly brilliant in this oil painting, Two Amaryllis.

- Three's a CrowdLocated in Pasadena, CAAcquired by the gallery directly from the artist Artist Statement "A darkened recess provides a safe haven for a pair of Goldfinches to make their nest, already laden with light blue eggs. The soft yellow color of Goldfinches turns green in shadow, so the whole composition was yellow and green. The need for a bright color in the focal area gave me the opportunity for visual as well as narrative interest. This is a Western Tanager sitting between the mated pair of Goldfinches. Relationships are complicated." —Mary Kay WestCategory
