This is a sequel to the last painting “Dandelion Bouquet for Mother”. They really did come from our backyard. The color complements go in a different direction here with a violet/yellow contrast. The jumble of colors, purple, green, yellow, and gold all set up a contrast against the red/purple background in the wood tones of the table. It’s like a child’s excitement getting all mixed up with the richness of the natural beauty of wildflowers, a kind of earthy childish elegance that goes way beyond the sophistication of the adult world.

1 - Whilst I loved the first, this second one is really beautiful. It's amazing what a difference the surrounding colours can make. The warm reds and purples really make those yellows glow. Well done, Paul! (Comment this)
