SOLD

Last Lupin painting in the series. Lately I've been pulled and tugged between landscapes and florals. The late summer blooms may have something to do with it, as yesterday's family walk down to our neighborhood garden inspired me and I took several reference photos. Next week I'll post the deep woods landscapes I've been working on, they feature deep blues and subdued lighting with sky-high maples in late Autumn color. Can't wait to finish them so people can view them, I might stay in that theme a while longer ... or I may just get pulled and tugged into another floral painting. :)

This painting is the second of three. I enjoy working in series, although as of late I've been keeping the series short and exploring different ideas that I have. I'm envisioning a Lupin hillside with birches, water and blue sky in the distance on a larger scale, perhaps 2' x 3'. I'll get right to it ... as soon as I finish the works that are waiting patiently on my easel ... and the several paintings I want to begin.
Maybe I need a larger studio and more easels. :)

Please stop back soon as I'll be uploading four new paintings within the next week.

Lupins bloom in Duluth in the early summer and they are always a joy. They scatter their seeds and spread out, often covering entire hillsides in shades of lavender for several weeks at a time.  My girls really liked this painting (their favorite color is purple so I can't imagine why lol). One of my daughters immediately recognized the lupins as the 'flowers that grow on the hillside by my climbing tree'. My other daughter thought they were purple trees growing in a forest. They could also be cotton candy on a stick (Minnesota State Fair is coming up) or they could simply be ... lupins.

I have a couple more lupin paintings on a smaller scale available which will be uploaded later this week. They may also be viewed on my paintings page on my website. God bless.
