Dream Blossoms
I'm currently working on a series of large acrylic on canvas paintings I call "Dream Blossoms". I've labeled them such because my reference is actual flora but in the paintings, the flowers appear dreamlike in their intense color, arrangement or details. Sunflowers with jewels instead of seeds. Japanese lanterns that sparkle and glow as garden lanterns. Cactus that seem to dance along the desert surface. I enjoy the whimsical details that reveal themselves as I paint. I may have a vision of what the finished piece will be as I am painting but the end result is always more colorful and lively than I imagined.
The giclee prints I have of these paintings are retaining the brightness of color and detail of brushstroke. I'm very happy with the outcome. I'm beginning to hold on to the originals as I work towards a showing of the series. They bring so much life to my already colorful walls in the meantime. They will be missed, but I look forward to the opportunity to share them. I have received very positive response on the series so far. Next up, a giant Gerber Daisy!
