Wildflowers - finished

Wildflowers   9x6" oil on gessoboard

It all started with a wander through the woods on a beautiful sunny day.  It's one of those moments of renewal that I often take time to do.  Along the trail, this was the moment that most stood out to me as a surprise greeting - an array of sunny yellow wildflowers blithely dancing on the breeze.  They seemed to literally glow as the sunlight cast it's beautiful golden light, while the darker backdrop of the woods gave them even more definition.

This kind of unexpected surprise is what makes landscape painting so compelling to me - it transports me into the beauty and joy of God's creation.  It seems to me that He has shared something special as a personal gift!
