Poppin Poppies (Print)
"Poppin Poppies" — Print
Giclee print on archival matte paper
Unframed
🖌️ About the original:
Acrylic on stretched canvas
22” W x 28” L x 1.5” D
Painted in 2023
I painted this in my little home-studio in Minneapolis, MN (aka, my living room), where I try very hard to not get paint all over the floor and furniture (unsuccessfully, especially when painting large, expressive pieces like this). I danced a little while exploring this piece and found that a little physical movement loosened up my brush strokes and opened up my mind to taking larger risks with color contrast. I got lost in painting the layers of the background just as pleasantly as I did the flowers.
My favorite parts of the piece are: 1) it's BOLD and COLORFUL baby!, 2) pops of cool purple to indicate vibrant shadows, 3) movement created by large, sweeping brush strokes, and 4) it feels like the exact moment you breathe in a cold flower bouquet in the grocery store and you're so close to it that you might smell a petal right into your nose — the feeling of a fresh breath of another, very pleasant, reality.
