Original “Big Flowers” Oil on Canvas by Sharon Cannon, Los Angeles Artist

Bold, tactile, and visually unforgettable, “Big Flowers” is an original oil on canvas by Los Angeles contemporary artist Sharon Cannon. Executed with thick impasto, palette-knife texture, and expressive color layering, this large-scale vertical composition captures Cannon’s distinctive approach to abstraction—where color, movement, texture, and reinvention become inseparable.

This work presents a vibrant botanical abstraction rendered in saturated tones of violet, ultramarine, citrus yellow, emerald green, and electric orange. The composition balances gestural spontaneity with deliberate structure, creating a painting that feels equally at home in a curated residential interior, hospitality project, luxury penthouse, design showroom, or serious contemporary collection.

Hand signed by the artist on the side stretcher and titled “Big Flowers” verso.

Sharon Cannon’s path to painting is particularly compelling. After earning an executive master’s degree from USC and spending decades in high-end design and custom interiors as Vice President of Unique Projects in Los Angeles, Cannon returned to art later in life, developing a process-driven practice centered on layering, scraping, overpainting, and rediscovery. Today she works from Los Angeles and exhibits through TAG Gallery, with works appearing through Artsy and contemporary exhibitions.

Collectors of gestural abstraction, post-war inspired color field painting, contemporary American art, and interior designers sourcing statement works will appreciate the material presence and architectural scale of this piece.
