"Once Upon a Summertime"
"Once Upon a Summertime" is a 30x24x2 inch Mixed Media Painting on canvas inspired by the gorgeous flowers and colors of the Pacific Northwest during my recent visit there. This piece is the largest of the collection (and one of my largest ever!) featuring as many of the gorgeous flowers as I could include in one summer-filled landscape. The sunflowers and hummingbirds take center stage while zinnias, poppies and daisies gather round soaking up the sun. Lots of layers of monoprinted papers, pages from a French romance novel and bits of paper from my trip comprise the mixed media elements of this piece!
These hummingbirds, with their magenta markings are indicative of the Pacific Northwest area, and the sunflowers include the fluffy yellow Van Gogh variety.
