Sea of Wildflowers, 8 x 6, SOLDAt this time of year, even some parking lots in Texas shimmer with the color of wildflowers. This was a gully next to the beautiful parking area of Lady Bird's commemorative wildflower center. Of course, it's filled with color and texture! I did delete a few cars from the upper ridge but that is what editing is all about! :)

Hi Laurel,
ReplyDeleteI love the playful way you've indicated the foreground flowers. Just perfect -- my delight parallels yours when I see your totally joyous brushwork.
Stunning.

effortless brushstrokes Laurel! i wish we had such beautiful parking areas in Scotland. Unfortunately they are clinical with stick trees, well, most of them. r.
ReplyDeleteOh, I so miss the Texas wildflowers. I have been seeing the vicariously through you. Thanks for that! I esp. love the bluebonnets!
ReplyDeleteYou do such a great job of showing so much w/ so few brushstrokes.
ReplyDeleteI love these colors Laurel. Makes me want to be there!
ReplyDeleteI love the quick indication of color and flowers... Really nicely done!!
ReplyDeleteHi Laurel,
ReplyDeleteYour plein air paintings are really fantastic. I can't wait to see more. Love this "Sea of Wildflowers" and how you combined minimalism with realism
Definitely a good idea to edit out cars!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors.
As I look out my window at the rainy grey umber landscape, your picture gives my hope that color will arrive in southern Ontario! A beautiful warm picture.
ReplyDeleteP.S.
ReplyDeleteCars aren't so bad in the right setting! But that's the beauty of art...you can add or leave out as desired.
This is especially beautiful, I love your composition, how you've let the tree go off the canvas at the top. And your colors are a breath of fresh air, as usual.
