Shades of Blue
Oil on Linen Panel
4" x 8"

This vibrant oil painting bursts with expressive color and rich texture, focusing on a cluster of blooming flowers in shades of blue, purple, and white. The dominant forms are bold blue and indigo blossoms, their petals rendered in thick, confident brushstrokes that swirl and overlap, creating a dynamic sense of movement. To the left, a pair of creamy white flowers soften the composition, touched with hints of peach and a pop of red at their centers. Yellows and greens provide a warm, sunlit background that contrasts with the cool hues of the flowers, enhancing their visual impact. The entire piece has an impasto quality, where the physicality of the paint itself becomes part of the expressive language, giving the scene an almost tactile liveliness.
