Oil painting • 18” x 36”

I absolutely love it when I come across a whole field of wildflowers – there is something about the transformation of a single dainty flower into a dense explosion of color that inspires awe and delights your senses. So in Poppy Passion, I combined memories of places I’ve been with intense complimentary colors to convey that joy I feel when I come across a gorgeous field of poppies.

If you’d like to see Poppy Passion in person, visit my booth this weekend at Art in the Square in Madison, WI, mmoca.org.

Madison, WI – Art Fair on the Square this weekend

I created this second floral study to go with my sunflower painting from Monday. Using palette knives and extremely thick oil paint to achieve texture and dimension. I love the bright, happy colors! To see these floral studies in person, stop by my booth at Madison, Wisconsin’s Art Fair on the Square this weekend. For more details on the show, see mmoca.org.
