Title

The Birth of Venus…She Was Born with Her Shoes On

Description

The Birth of Venus depicts some pink orchids and petals against an abstract background that suggests that vaguely suggests a reddish landscape with a deep blue sky. An explosive area of white paint near the center of the composition might represent the moment of birth referred to in the title.
