HOLD FOR EXHIBITION - ANIMALIA VI

***At Abend Gallery, Denver, CO please inquire at (303) 355-0950***

This curious calf is part of Carrie Goller's Floriferous collection; an original oil painting on gallery wrap canvas framed in classic black float frame.

Floriferous |adjective | flo·rif·er·ous flȯ-ˈri-f(ə-)rəs: bearing flowers, especially: blooming freely

Cheeky “Ivy” is part of my ongoing Floriferous series exploring animal innocence and botanical symbolism. A bluebird, often seen as a messenger of joy or spiritual presence, perches upon a young calf adorned with a wild crown of summer blossoms. Trailing ivy offers a quiet twist — a reminder that even the most idyllic moments contain a touch of humor and wildness.
