Wildflowers Close to my Heart Note Card

Wildflowers Close to my Heart Note Card is based on the original painting Wildflowers Close to my Heart.

This image was sought from an international photographer, with permission.  And I feel that this period of time made me reflect on how we can start living for the small moments in life and so I thought this beautiful field of wildflowers makes me feel just that.  It also reminds me of my childhood where I loved to plant wildflowers in my Mums beautiful garden.

This is a pivot from my normal art style but it just seemed to flow so nicely.  Many many layers have been put into this artwork and it was very freeing to paint in this style.  Once again I chose to use a limited colour palette but chose that slight purple hue to wash over it and give that lovely sunset feeling to the piece.

I always want my works to look consistent.  Six or seven colours are used in my paintings.  I am trying to achieve harmony within the painting and my whole series of artworks.

In addition I am honoured that the original painting has received an award from the opening night of The Welcome Swallow Galleries ‘Our Times’ Exhibition – winning the Volunteers Award.
