White Roses Sing and Sing

"White Roses Sing and Sing" by Alma Woodsey Thomas exemplifies her vibrant, abstract style and mastery of color field painting. Created after her retirement from a 35-year teaching career, this lively work celebrates her fascination with nature's forms and the expressive power of bold, colorful strokes. Thomas's paintings are known for their exuberance and rhythmic patterns, which evoke a sense of movement and energy. As the first African-American woman included in the White House's permanent art collection, her work reflects a groundbreaking fusion of cultural identity and innovative artistic expression.
