Sea of Wildflowers

Sea of Wildflowers, 8 x 6, SOLD

At 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! :)

  1. Hi Laurel,

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

    Stunning.

  9. 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.

  10. P.S.
    Cars aren't so bad in the right setting! But that's the beauty of art...you can add or leave out as desired.

  11. 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.
