Daisies dancing among the colours of a summer garden.
Pastel
12 × 9 inches
Wild Garden celebrates the wonderfully imperfect beauty of flowers growing freely together. White daisies rise from a loose tapestry of pinks greens and soft blues while the surrounding garden dissolves into colour and atmosphere. Rather than focusing on every detail I wanted this painting to capture the feeling of being among the flowers—the movement changing light and little flashes of colour that catch your eye as you wander through a garden. Created in soft pastel the piece allowed me to work more loosely and intuitively letting some areas remain suggested rather than defined. The result is a gentle impressionistic glimpse of summer and the simple pleasure of flowers allowed to grow a little wild.
