Summer Burst

"Enjoy smooth relaxing beautiful music,
no words, a gentle instrumental.
Take a break from your busy life!



An exuberant floral abstract with lots of texture (and energy!)
Hoover over the painting with the QuickZoom to see all details.
You should see this painting live:
Unfortunately I can't seem to capture this explosive and colorful painting in a photo!


With all that cold weather lately, here's my last piece of #art,
reminding me of warm summer days!
Sure makes it look as if Spring and Summer are both here.
I like the detail to each one and they seem to come alive.
I can almost smell the flowers........

This burst of poppies will be part of
the DFVA's Riverfront Art Show

April 1-3 in Wilmington, DE.

Second Picture:
Some more detail.
Also the color is more realistic than the big photo.
It's a collage/painting since I added small paper flowers (r upper corner) and paper spirals, cut from an english old book.
They actually remind me of pollen, and gives this painting a "breeze."

Don't you think that a painting very often has a particular strong area?
The colors and that specific part of the composition in picture no.2 are so balanced!
I probably will paint a small one like this!
