Celebration, 2020

Celebration is an oil painting, 30 x 48 x 1.5 inches, of some white daisies in a summer meadow at the end of a summer evening. The landscape behind the flowers shows a glowing, multicoloured field with trees in the background, and a golden evening light shines behind them. The daisies are painted in thick, generous impasto paint with Art Nouveau-type shapes and patterns. Spots of light or pollen rise up from the centre of the daisies as if rising to the sky. The whole scene is glowing with a golden light that is reminiscent of the last rays of the sun setting in the summertime. It is called Celebration because flowers mark the seasons very well and summer is a time that really feels like a celebration of life. It is painted on deep-edge canvas, white edges, no frame needed; ready to hang. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHpfXc_jF44
